    Advise Please?

    Noobie needing advise....
    A little bit of story telling....
    Four months ago I bought a low mileage 84 318i with automatic transmission. It looks good inside and out for a 30 year old E30, runs great and everything works, passed smog and I will renew the registration tomorrow. I have done some cosmetic upgrades in the short time I have own it and It is still a work in progress.

    Originally my plan is to swap a M5x/S5x with manual transmission....But then I'm beginning to like this little unmolested M10 except for the manual transmission.

    Now this is what I want to do and need your expert advise. What manual transmission could I swap now and would still work with a M5x/S5x swap if I so decide in the future? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

      Nope, agreed- the M10 doesn't work with the M42-50-52 transmissions.

      The bellhousing patterns are different.

      So get the cheapest M10 trans you can find (should be easy, they're common)
      and the driveshaft with it, and then get your x52 motor with a trans, too.

      now, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves
