All you need it linkage, pedal assembly, cable/whatever for clutch, shifter and a shift knob.

LOL theyre the same trans.

and maybe a new ecu. not sure how bmw does that

This too. I'm willing to bet the car would go nuts with the SMG ecu still in there, and not having it. Hello limp mode.

is it?

I'm going to investigate this for my own purposes, because I can't believe a word this fuck says.

I can honestly say, this is only the second time Ive ever had a convo about smg, and the first time was on july 2 lol

Just need to reflash the ecu when you're done.

So according that, I don't foresee you machining the old bell housing, nor do I see you swapping bell housings. So that's a new trans right there.

Wait, Khalil wants to do a trans swap on the M?

Yeah, after reading that link you posted I don't see that happening anytime soon.

[Average_Jerk]

having only done an auto to manual swap once, i can say its not fun

[andybob]

Also, I read it further, a guy did this and had the bell housing machined and did all the labor himself and it still set him back $1500.
