Before you ask, yes, I've searched, but haven't quite found the answer I'm looking for. Maybe you guys can help.
I've been looking for an E30 for over half a year now and still haven't found the one. Sometimes the only thing standing in the way is the dreaded slushbox. I really, really, really don't want an autotragic, but I am getting tired of waiting. I am at the point where I am okay with buying an automatic, but only if I can swap in a 5 speed somewhere down the line. So...
1. How difficult is it to do the swap? Keep in mind that I don't have the mechanical experience, nor do I know anyone who does. Also, I don't have access to a garage with lifts, etc. I am willing to take the time, but don't want to majorly screw something up.
2. How expensive can it get?
3. Should I just forget all this and keep on waiting?
Be honest. Brutally, if you have to.
If it makes any difference, the swap will likely be on a 88-91 325i Sedan, if I find one.
Bonus Question!
How long did it take you guys to find your (first) E30?
