After 4 years of mods, upgrades, & meets...kinda of ran out of things to do, also got tired of hearing that my car was perfect except for 1 thing...yeah you guessed it...It's Automatic!
This past winter my wife's cousin & his girlfriend from Germany visited. His 24 year old platinum blonde, blue eyed girlfriend told me... driving an Automatic is like drinking Corona Light!
I have been wanting to do this for the last 3 years anyway, but was too afraid to attempt it,
especially with the worries of the check engine light, cruise control & fund-age!
I did my homework & researched it the last 2 years, with help of the Bimmerforums (The Official Auto-to-Manual Transmission Swap Thread) & various links, I purchased a donor car, then dove right in!
So, after I successfully completed the swap in the Spring of 2012, I decided to share my experience & help some fellow BMW enthusiast if they ever decide to do this.
Here is the link to my website:

Hope it helps all you fellow E36 owner's!
good luck,
