edit, oh i see in your sig you have a 323. i would like it. how are the synchos and how many miles does it have?

what kind of build are you doing? I'd keep the dogleg. Can't seem to find a decent shift knob anywhere for it though :(

There are some sweet old school illuminated dogleg knobs on ebay right now!!

i am planning on doing a m50 turbo build. i just cant seem to find out what i really need for it. i do know i want it to be fast and reliable. so i guess its not going to be cheap. thats where selling the dogleg comes in. plus if i do use it in my car i think there is a good chance it will give out. then im screwed. so no matter what its not staying in this car.

oh yeah i couldnt find those shift knobs on ebay. it is very hard to find one any where. i do have a momo one on it but i am getting tired of it. what do you think of the knock off schnitzer ones? real ones are way too much money.

Sell me the dogleg 'box!!!!11 2 dolla!! lol

Seriously though, how much you looking to get, ballpark, for it?

It's a nice transmission to have. Makes a good conversation piece if nothing else. I have one sitting in front of the fireplace in my living room.

I would sell it, you can get pretty good money for that. It's also going to go bad eventually, and you'll wish you had sold it when it does. But that's just IMO.

This is assuming you'll be swapping it yourself

i think its pretty funny that you have one in front of your fire place. and it would make for nice conversation. thats one of the reasons why i do want to keep it. and i know for a fact if i do sell it im going to regret it for a long time. im going to want to get at least 2500 if not more for it. too much? oh well for now. ill see if i change my mind later on since i still have a pretty big budget without selling it.

I have a dogleg shiftknob. anyone what to trade for a regular?

[Pull_Addict]

i have a wood alpina one that came in my car. but it does have a crack down the middle of it. what are these worth? whats the condition of yours?

I hate to talk you out of selling it, because I know a ton of people here are interested in buying it, but you are right. My friend at one point had two doglegs and was debating whether he wanted the tranny or the money. He decided that the car he had wasnt worthy of a dogleg, and instead of storing one of them he sold them both. Now he regrets it, and told me that if I ever get rid of mine to contact him.

I've had a lot of interest in mine, but to the general E30 population these transmissions arent worth $2500. I got mine dirt cheap, but I still wouldnt sell it for less than $2500, just because it took ~4 years to track one down and I realize how hard to find they are.

They usually sell for ~$500-$1000 when they pop up on the forums.

And the Alpina knob sounds interesting, post up a pic of that.

I've got an old Porsche knob for mine.

A 265 M3/M635 dogleg will pull pretty good coin but the smaller-case one isn't worth a whole lot...still a lot more than a 325i 260 for sure though.
