                          I'll probably do the rod bearings, rear main seal, oil filter housing gasket, new clutch and swap over all the new sensors from the blown motor.  There probably will be more but that's what I can think of now.

                          Might add a Setrab oil cooler and a get the bumper support sorted out.

                            Now the e30 has to get out of the garage so the E46 can go under the knife.

                                    Glad I'm getting into this thing. There is new engineering in here but it all is similar to an e30. Love that.

                                    9998105c4695a7b622644670d19f9eb3.jpg

                                    I'll pull the trans out with the motor. The gear selector seal has a little leak.

                                      Might as well do the manual conversion while you're in there...
