    E30 M52 swap

    Hi all,

    I want to buy an E30, but swap an M52 into it. Is it worth buying an automatic E30 and swapping a manual transmission in with the engine or spending more to get a manual? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Either way you'll spend more to add the clutch pedal. I'd go the manual route, save you some work.
