Hey all, new around here and very impressed with the level of expertise.
I'm getting an 89 325i coupe shipped out to me very soon(if pre-purchase inspection goes well). It unfortunately is an auto. boohoo
Can't find the right car in 5-speed.
Anyway, I'm in NC (Raleigh) and I was thinking about getting a shop to do the swap but I realize many folks won't even touch it. Anyone know of a reputable tech that can do this for me in the area?
Also, what might I expect to pay for the labor?
I may end up doing the swap my self. I've wrenched around a bit and done some clutches in the past (non bmw) and have a good friend with a decent garage setup so it may go that way.
wish me luck, any input appreciated
