    I've got all the conversion parts EXCEPT the tranny (well, and the diff.......) It should be pretty straight-forward conversion IF you have all the manual tranny parts from a donor car. I've done this on an E21 320i, and it was pretty much- take out the auto tranny parts + bolt in the 5 speed tranny parts.

    I've got the whole swap waiting to be taken out of a 90 525I for $650.
