Changes to E30

[maruman]

i hav a 1987 E30 320I fitted with a 2.5 litre engine and has an auto gear.i am thinking of changing to manual gear and maybe also the engine to a 2.0 litre engine. the 2.5 litre engine is very responsive and powerful but i think i could do with less power. need advice if it is a wise move and if so how to go about it?thank you

I have the M20 ZF S5-16 gearbox if you are interested, with flywheel and clutch from M20 engine.

I dun see any reason why you wanna downgrade to 2.0 when the fuel consumption of 2.5 is same or better.
Anyway i got the 2.0 engine as well if you are interested. I got leftovers from my conversion.
