Driving a manual e30 is 100x times than an autotragic one, almost no comparison. Better connection between you and the car. Besides, autotragics are frowned upon and gives the car better value in the e30 market.
If you've never driven stick before, it's not too hard to pick up. Just practice on your street or in a parking lot your first time to get used to it. Then just put yourself on the street which kinda forces you to get it right. Have someone with you that drives stick to give you pointers and tips and tell you what you're doing wrong/right. It's all about being conscious of having to work the clutch and shift and using the two together smoothly and often. It's a lot more work and definitely not for a lazy driver.
Hope this helps!

I might convert my Auto 1986 318i to a Manual.
So i've bidded on a manual convert kit for a M10B18 engine, a bit harder to find (The kit), In new zealand i believe. I need to know, was this a good idea? I think i will get bored of Auto quite soon. Ive heard manual is much more fun and honestly i cant feel like im really driving my E30 until its manual. The kit is $500 currently and i have a reliable friend who will convert it with me, so no pricey mechanic costs.
I just want input, is a manual convert worth it? Will i regret it? Will it mess up my car?
