The other parts you can refurbish part by part, or at one go. i think you can even order a complete interior from some chop shops. performance wise, the 328 is running obd2, so will be a little more difficult to mod for future power goals because of the ecu. i'm working on a solution, but this will come later. but if you're happy with stock performance from outta the box, then dropping in a zf or a getrag manual will do wonders. but as the others mentioned, the zf box is made for 328's, so that would be the better choice. plus if you ever decide to up the power levels, then the zf can take the abuse. my zf has seen abuse for at least 6-7 years, from na to supercharge to turbo, and still hasn't skipped a beat. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> it really depends on the car you buy. get a reputable mech to check it out, at least you will know what needs to be replaced/fixed, and you can estimate your budget.or you can get a 325i with a vanos engine, and create a monster. but that's a topic I'll leave for another day. hahahaha..... good luck.</blockquote>
