    E30 325ix drivetrains

    Does anyone know if the drive train from a standard would be compatible with an auto. I.E drive shafts

    325e rear drive axles work in the 325iX, but make sure they have ABS

      Oh, the manual 325iX parts will all transfer over to an automatic car. It is an easy conversion! Try to confirm that your manual transfer case viscous coupling is good because the auto. transfer case is not directly interchangeable. It is possible to switch viscous couplings though. I would do a jack test on both cars while they are still running before doing the swap. There are videos on YouTube about the jack test. Good luck!

        Manual/auto ix driveshafts are 100% the same (all of them).
