Few Questions / Intro

[sNICKa]

Hey always been in love with the e30 and then when i saw the e30 with the e60 m5 motor swap i truly fell in love. My future plans are to get an e30 and maybe do something along those lines if not the e60 m5 motor then the e46 m3 motor havent looked to much into these things and i've got a lot of a researching to do but some of the main questions i've had is : is there a shop that can don the fender flare and make my e30 look like one of the e30 m3's?? also on top of that i've seen quite a few e30's selling with auto trannys.. how hard is it to swap from auto to a z3 5speed manual?? thanks for all the help in advance. Btw age 22 livin in socal so if anyone is local and has any of this work done i would love to come see your car and hopefully you could tell me about how hard/easy it was to do. thanks again :D

Auto to manual swaps are fairly common. People use getrag 260's mostly though. That tranny came on m20 e30's. An m3 bodywork conversion is hard and costly, and you're likely better off just buying an e30 m3 if you plan on having a body shop do the work for you.
