I finally got around to getting the part of the website up for my 535i. The main reason for now starting to document my car is the fact that the automatic "slushbox" transmission decided to stop working. I have my old 528e I can pull the transmission out of then swap the bell housings, but that seems like a lot of work for something that could just go again real soon. My decision, put a 5spd manual into the car. If I am going to do all this work, I need some kind of reward in the end.
My goal is to see how cheap I can get a 5spd into this car.

I got all the parts from a donor car at my local U-pull & U-pay. This place is awesome because it is almost like a mall for used car parts for bargain prices.
More updates soon with pictures too!... I am currently pulling the auto tranny out of my old 528e just in case I need it. |
