information on 5-speed swap into 525iT wtd

[pappentl]

Does anyone have a list of parts needed for a 5-speed conversion into a '93 525iT? Is there anything needed besides the obvious (trans, driveshaft, pedal box, hydrolics, console parts)? Any shared experience with this would be welcome. Is the 4.10 rear ratio still appropriate for the 5-speed? TIA.

the 4.10 will work fine, if you dont mind turning about 3500-4000rpm at 60mph, if you're doing 70% city driving, i'd say go for it, it will work. If you dont like it, change it later. good luck with it. there might be something you have do in place of removing the trans computer, like a termination plug, but i'm not sure at all on that.
