Do it OP! I just wouldn't transplant SMG3, I find it to be a really annoying transmission... If you do, make sure you drive a car with it before dropping a ton of money on the conversion. 
What?! Why do you guys think this will be a problem? There are people on here developing ~650 LB-FT at the engine, and the frame is just fine...
-EDIT-
The frame on the silver E92 looks pretty bent up. That's gonna take some time on the puller to get straight... |
Thanks Josh, i am waiting for a rough estimate from my 2 mechanic-friends who have done the swap before
