I did a quick search but couldn't find anything on this topic. I have a 2002 325iAT and would like to do a manual conversion for the car. I have all of the components besides the transmission and flywheel conversion kit. I have access to a 1998 318i 5 speed for $150, but I'm not sure what the difference is between that and the one for the e46. Based on RealOEM, they are both ZF S5D 250G's, but the last four letters are different, which I assume is for the gearing? The 318i ends with TBDH and the e46 ends with TAJT. I did a search for gearing based on model and the gear ratios are the same for both e36 and e46 ZF manuals. I would assume the bellhousings are the same, but again not sure.
Any info. would be great.
