[QUOTE="awyeah, post: 466177, member: 19607"] Dear all sifus and gurus, I have an E36 original manual transmission with a M43 engine. I am looking to swap the engine with M50 or M52? Which is more suitable. Considering to change the engine, what other parts need to be changed? Can I use the same manual gearbox? Will the gear ratios handle the 6 cylinder engine speed? Also do any rods or drive shafts need to be changed? My friend swapped his 318i auto to 328i auto and he told me the estimated cost was around 4k after selling his old engine. All help is appreciated in this matter. I am looking for a conversion with estimated cost around 4-5k. A friend proposed me 5k to do it, but I have to take the car to JB. I prefer to do it in KL where I am staying. [/QUOTE]
