Engine Swap Transmission Question
 
Still in "consideration" phase....

A friend has a 98 328i automatic donor car available. If I were to consider swapping the M52 motor into my 99 ti would I have to locate a manual 328 transmission or will my existing transmission mate up to the M52 motor?

u can use ur stock tranny(getrag) or u can get the 328/m3 tranny (zf)
the stock tranny would hold the power no problem

Thank you. That makes this a much more interesting proposition!

hold on, im guessing ur TI is manual right?

any e36 tranny(manual or auto) is compatible with any e36 motor

Correct, my 99 ti is a manual transmission. The 98 328 donor car is an auto.
