Dod I'm wondering did you actually think i wanted to convert a diesel one to a 320i engine, which i don't, was just hoping for a lazy/easy option using the diesel box that i have lying around instead of finding another. So can it really be that much hassle, ecus etc just for swapping in a manual gearbox into a auto car?
I get the need for the gear related stuff and shaft and pedals obviously, but changine ecus and keys and chips etc.... were they that over reliant on computer bits by then already?
