Agreed that the swap doesn't look too terrible. I was hoping to avoid taking it on with another project in flight, but that doesn't look to be the
case.
I think I will begin collecting up the parts. When I get the parts all together, it looks like it can be done in a day.
Thanks for your thoughts.
I have done a 5spd swap on an E30.
it is quite easy actually. I would be happy to give you guys any tips and pointers along the way if you choose to do it yourself. I haven't really heard of a particular shop that does swaps but Kummrow automotive specializes in German car repair and might be more apt to that kind of project.
I'd ask a basic question that I don't seem to find the answer in the swap threads on other sites:
What years/models are acceptable for the swap? Can the M/T come from an E36, E46, etc?
Gents,
I've been lurking here for a while and having fun reading your posts. I am an old guy(47), but a car guy. The enthusiasm you guys have for your car is great and you clearly like to have a laugh along the way. Some of your posts are down right hilarious. You guys all are on drugs right? 
My son is 16 and we got him an 88 325. It's a well maintained car in nice shape, but an automatic. I'd like to start looking at the 5 speed swap.
He and I are working on a restore of a 1966 Ford Bronco. I kinda have a rule that I try not to have more than one big project running at a time.
With that, are there any shops in town that specialize in e30's and would be good for a 5 speed swap?
TIA
They way that works on the title application, you don't need an address in that other county. You just need to name that other county where the vehicle is kept. Sounds dumb but that is how it works.
I did that a few years back and was shocked how easy that loophole is.
