And what if your auto tranny is on the way out because you ride your car hard and should have gotten a manual in the first place?
What would the cost difference be to repair/replace your existing auto, for a manual with all the extra pieces and labour that would be required for the swap?
If it's a few thousand on top, I feel like under the conditions I laid out it might be a considerable option. What do you think?
I was considering replacing my car with basically the same car in manual but I'd end up paying $3000 in tax anyway because Ontario charges sales tax on used cars which is insane.

These are the 'costs' that no one actually considers when they blindly suggest selling your current car to buy a 335i, or a manual 328i. Taxes, titling, tag transfer. Lots of time finding a suitable replacement car, negotiating with a salesmen, getting cars sold from under you, unknown service history, less than ideal options, etc.
