Donor advice needed
Hi All, First post on here.
I'm hoping to place my order for a sportster in the next month or so and I'm busy on the donor hunt at the moment. Following some advice on this forum and on builders Flickr pages I've decided to go for an early 90s M50 engined 325i.
After much hunting I've finally found a suitable car at £899 only 15 miles away. all the others available are well over 100 miles away so I'd waste a lot of money going to see them and pick them up. It's done over 150K but looks in excellent condition so I can make some cash back on the left over parts. The only problem is that it's an auto.
Can anyone advise if I'm going to run into problems swapping in a manual box from a different source. I know modern autos (not specifically BMWs) have their own ECU and I'm a bit worried that if I buy this car (tomorrow) I'll end up with a headache trying to retro fit a manual box with the loom and ECU expecting an auto box
