    Yes. They did it on an episode of 'Wheeler Dealers'.

    Yes it is doable. Here's one example I saw on another site-- e46fanatics.com/threads/diy-smg-to-manual-conversion-without-removing-or-machining-the-trans-hack.1200377/

    Umm the SMG is a manual. Now if you want to use the same transmission, there is a way to convert it back to a regular 6-speed transmission. Tavarish on YouTube has a video showing how he converted one in his M3 IIRC.
