Converting Auto to Manual


#1

I have a friend selling a 1988 325is auto for relatively cheap. Is there anything against the regulations in swapping this auto to a manual, then building it to spec e30 regulations?

Just build it. You’ll be fine.

There was some major word-parsing going on a few months back, and people were getting wrapped around the axle on the subject because it wasn’t explicit [enough].

If necessary, it will be clarified in the rules someday, but in the meantime, it is not something you need to be concerned about.
