Hello, I have been looking around for a new car or awhile now - thinking whether to keep my old one or not, etc etc. I came across this little 318i from 1991 (which I think looked pretty sick) Now - I have my 525I, and I would be able to get this one for cheap - I will look at it on sunday.
Now for my question: Will the tranny bolt up to my engine?? - I have this weird idea in my head that it will from browsing around the internet... Since the M42 and the 5-speed that go with it are the same ones that are in the later E36 models 318i's, and those seem to have the same exact bolt pattern.
I am asking this because if all works well, I would like to create one of those E30s with the M50 engines in them (expecially since I have a complete engine in my posession - with EVERYTHING.
Please let me know (especially if you know for sure).
