(slightly longer) So it took a while to get the driveshaft and trans mounting sorted out. Running clutch line, wiring, etc...it adds up. Straight 128i swap would be a bit easier though. Difficulty is 8-9/10. I have a lift....without one, its a much bigger job.
Hi, I am doing this job just now. I have the 130i gearbox and I want to keep the 125i diff. I was wondering how you solved the propshaft mismatch, did you find a stock solution or do I need a custom one made?
