Man, that looks neat, never seen one like that before...
I kind of want that. Mine's still a zf 5spd auto. Even though it's a 1990, the PO installed the fake wood around the trans and dash from the later models, so it would sort of match.
OTOH it doesn't look so good as the door trims are original so don't have the matching fake wood. I'd rather restore to original than continue this theme. But then again the factory standard plastic non fake wood trans console looks terrible, so I would keep that fake wood part at least until changing transmissions - which might be forever
I don't think a 5spd auto is bad, especially for a 1500kg 4dr daily driver, but the lack of torque makes it horrible sometimes. I like the 5spd in a ford falcon barra but the torque from a 4L I6 makes all the difference. If I can't find a m50 e34 manual in australia (I don't think they ever sold them here) then I'll just have to find ways to increase the torque of my e34...
