Yes. This is another one of those threads...
At the moment I have a '91 325i that is an AUTO.
I obviously want to do a 5 speed swap into this beast, but I also have a few questions.
1. Are the pedal assemblies from an e36 interchangeable? I would think not, and I haven't really found evidence to support a yes or no on this one. The reason I ask is because I'm debating on a 24v swap, and I feel I could source more parts from a wrecked e36 than trying to haggle with two different owners/cars.
2. 24v VS FI M20.
It seems both routes would cost relatively close to the same amount and this is what I've gathered:
m20 turbo would be better in the fact that I know my motor is good, although a rebuild would most likely happen beforehand.
24v would be better for fuel economy and reliability.
I've been looking into this for years and have had two e30's in the process (I focused on suspension/ interior because I couldn't decide!)
Or...
Should I piss everyone off and do an SR20 / v8 swap?
TL; DR
noob thread about 5 speed swap/ 24v VS FI m20.
