Thanks Whit. I know most of that. I am going the parts car route, but I may be doing it with a friend who doesn't live nearby. Hence the shipping questions. In any case, I just wanted to know about shipping so that I can keep my options open. Being in Canada, (re)locating a whole parts car can be tough. The manual 535 is rare enough -- rarer still in Canada.
$1995 ~ $2200, doesn't it? I mean, you can see my point. ED asks ~$2k for the transmission and parts, for which I could buy a whole parts car.
Bruno has steered me away from the E28. I'm not sure why. Probably for ease-of-installation issues.
I do hope to do a turbo kit one day. Will the Getrag 260 handle ~320rwhp?
