hi there, so I have an 87 325is that was originally an automatic, I did all of the mechanical things to convert it to a 5 speed, I may be wrong, but its my understanding that the computers are both the same on an automatic and 5 speed, what do I have to do electronically for it to run? Ive done a 5 speed swap on an e28 before and I just had a couple of things to do, wondering about the e30s, thanks!

The same DME is used for the automatic and manual transmission cars. The only electrical mod needed is to jumper the Park/Neutral starter lockout.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

driver side there is a relay all the way to the left and the lowest one you will have a black and a black/yellow wires going to a relay, clip them and butt crimp them together, tyhose are your starter wires-Andy
