By yourself or paying for it to be done? it's not a hard swap, it's also exactly the same as doing a swap in a regular e36 so just search for any 5 speed swap diy.

You will also need to swap the differential to get the proper ratio for the 5 speed transmission

Or have a really quick, but impractical gear ratio. Man that would sooo whine on the freeway. :rolleyes:

Good luck! :cool:

Who cares! You'd be able to pull on cars you shouldn't be able to. 😉

HaHa! soooo true! actually, my 318ic had a 4.25 or something in that range with a 5 speed as well. Quick, but not top end fast. :cool:
