RE: Parts parts parts! [BMW E30]
It's exactly like christmas, until you see your credit card bill. My 5 speed swap is almost as much as I paid for the car at this point!

Oooooooooooo. Yeah, that sucks. So you did decide to go with the 5 speed swap instead of automatic rebuild?
Yup. the auto rebuild cost was as high as the 5 speed swap and only a margin less work.
I couldn't find a used auto cheap enough and reliable enough to keep it auto, so 5 speed it went. So far so good, but really pain in the ass having to constantly order parts and bushings that I didn't realize I needed.
