Here is a scrip from Roundel Tech editor Mike Miller that might make you consider.
At automatic transmission replacement time, we are confronted with the reality that the local transmission shop cannot rebuild BMW automatic transmissions, even those built by GM (BMW’s GM transmissions bear not resemblance to GM transmission in domestic cars). There are some domestic specialists who concentrate in BMW automatic transmission rebuilding, and you’ll see their ads in Roundel. However, I have no experience with any of the current domestic re-builders. My experience in the past is…well, I wound up buying a BMW factory rebuilt automatic transmission every time, and this is the course I recommend to readers – “back to the dealer.”
Some of you, having seen the light, may be interested in converting to a manual gearbox. This is always possible, but for most of us it won’t be less expensive than a replacement automatic transmission. This is because of all the other parts and additional labor required. And the newer the car the harder the job will be. It is certainly a doable swap, but there’s no cost savings even if you do the work yourself. The exception would be if you have access to a manual gearbox donor car for little or no expense.

Yeah that going to be too much, just removing the AT is much simpler lol MT trannys are expensive+ I'm going to have to budget a Racing clutch and maybe a single mass flywheel, basically moar $$$ and I'm only a student haha

Good luck +1 on the MT swap.
Could always find a nice sandy flood car and do the swap. Sure you could find one cheap..

We shall see Manual is gonna get a bit expensive, as stated above^ not sure just yet gotta look up different things. but either way i will take pictures along the way.

I know my tranny has been driven hard, so just replacing the tourqe converter would be completely stupid, I'm already look ing a diagrams and pdfs on how our transmission is put together, this might be something i might be able to do, I'm still gonna do some digging on things like
Level 10's kit VS a regular ZF overhaul kit
Level 10's Valvebody upgrade Vs a Sonnex bore out
Level 10's Tourqe converter upgrade VS takeing it to a local shop to be refurbished.
My car is parked for maybe another month gotta collect some $$$ for this.
