Hello everyone, this is my first post here!
I have an automatic 1995 m42 powered 318ti that I am investigating manual swapping. I've done some searching but I can't seem to find the answer.

Is the manual driveshaft specific to the ti, or could another more common one work, say 318? I've heard mixed opinions, someone said they were almost certain it would work but I remain skeptical.

Any help at all is greatly appreciated, in addition to any info that may help with the swap aswell. Thanks!
