Automatic though I found at least 2x 1998-1999 M52B25 from 1998-1999 323is/ic. They said is complete unit. Questions (I am not planning to do any more than just boast displacement, no racing, extra stuff, etc): 1- the stock 1998 318TI-A automatic transmission, will this work with 1998/9 e36 M52B25 323is/ic engine or do I need the automatic transmission also (I don't want to drive manual) 2- the stock 318ti exhaust, this won't fit right? 3- what else do I need? -Li-wei |
