The ti was an automatic and the m3 is a manual. I did the pedal changeover today and noticed that the ti has no clutch switch connection. I also noticed the engine harness connections are different too. I'm sure the easiest way to get all my questions answered is to just buy one of Jims swap manuals. I have contacted him, but he has not responded and I see that he hasn't logged in in almost 2 months. Does anyone want to lend me their manual or possibly sell it to me? I thought this would be pretty straight forward but I can now see I have quite a few questions that need answered. The m3 drive line won't work either. May have to buy a 328 manual drive line or cut off the 6 bolt diff end and have a driveline shop weld on the 4 bolt one. Thought about just swapping the m3 diff flange onto my e30 medium case diff but I don't know if that will work or cause other problems too. Was hoping to keep everything obd2 but don't want cel or asc issues. If anyone can help get me the info I need that would be much appreciated.

Anyone willing to help me answer some questions? | | | 05-18-2016, 02:12 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2012 Location: SF Bay Area Posts: 315 | I'm actually pondering the idea too, but would love a copy of the book that was written. If a couple turn up, let me know. __________________ 01 740iS Cosmos Black 97 318ti Boston Green 99 318ti Titanium Silver 13 X5 3.5XDrive Cosmos Black 97 318ti Alpine White (gone but not forgotten) 88 325iC Schwartz Black (sold) 97 740iL Schwartz Black (sold) 84 633csi Schwartz Black (sold) 96 318ti Alaska Blue (sold) 08 X5 4.8i Titanium Silver (sold) | | | 05-18-2016, 02:47 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Heber City, Utah Posts: 242 | I have been told that Jim is supposedly revising his swap manual and coming out with a new updated version, but I have not been able to contact him personally. To me it seems that he is MIA! | | | 05-18-2016, 02:55 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2012 Location: SF Bay Area Posts: 315 | I sure hope he is okay and the revision is a true thing. __________________ 01 740iS Cosmos Black 97 318ti Boston Green 99 318ti Titanium Silver 13 X5 3.5XDrive Cosmos Black 97 318ti Alpine White (gone but not forgotten) 88 325iC Schwartz Black (sold) 97 740iL Schwartz Black (sold) 84 633csi Schwartz Black (sold) 96 318ti Alaska Blue (sold) 08 X5 4.8i Titanium Silver (sold) | | | 06-29-2016, 04:53 AM | #6 | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2016 Location: SW Colorado Posts: 4 | Quote: Originally Posted by wodcutr I have been told that Jim is supposedly revising his swap manual and coming out with a new updated version, but I have not been able to contact him personally.
