This one was at auction last week as well and sold. I think there is likely more than one good reason it's back at auction already.
There was also a B6 2.8 up this week (auto). I contemplated it since it was in better shape than this, but it was still pretty rough, so I watched it pass. |

Yeah, that one sold for 64,000 Yen less than a month a go. That flipper made a quick buck.

If you wanted to swap a manual into an E36 B6 or B3, what would be the appropriate unit? Was it the same manual used in 325i/328i?

I don't know for certain, but they did have a 5 speed so I would guess it's the same ZF unit used in the 328 and US M3.
"Appropriate" is relative of course. ![]() Cost aside, the best option is the E36 Euro M3 6 speed (expensive, hard to find), the E46 M3 6 speed (expensive). Those are pretty well documented swaps and the parts required are readily available. You can also use an E46 330 / Z4 6 speed but this is not as well documented. And finally the cheapest and easiest option is the 5 speed ZF from the 328 / US M3. I'm personally doing a manual swap in mine. I do everything the hard way so I'm using the E46 330/Z4 6 speed swap. Just acquiring a few more parts before I remove the Switchtronic. ![]() |

Thanks for the advice.
Hey, how about doing a thread of your swap on here so we can all follow along! |
