Not sure it's worth the hassle but there you have it. I've seen the odd discussion on the US forums pop up of people using e46 6 speed box's from the like of 330i's and M3's and using them in e36's, what this involves I really don't know but the ratio of the sixth gear is the same as that of an e36 evo box.
