Think i makes more sense to change cars.
Never been a lover of BMW I think the Audi is now a better car.
I use to work for Vauxhall and there are great work horses car, but there still only a Vauxhall 4.9 0-60 Is a fast car
It is so hard to find a really great car you can still enjoy the drive off.
Do you need a family size car?

ideally yes mate, think the M3 and the VXR8 are out of it due to £3.5k insurance costs
insane when I can get insured on a supra twin-turbo for £590 lol

Engine conversation on your car with a nice system is £5000 + another £1500 for a spray job plus what ever you sell your car for equals 1 nice car already done.

true and a engine conversion with more power will probably cost me less to insure than m3 lol

don't get on with autos and would rather not go through the pain of getting it manual converted

The auto answer is fair enough
I shall go back under my rock Although the MK2 has tiptronic

What work is usally involved then in a manual conversion? expensive I guess??

haha likely choices are supra/skyline (R33 GTR as my pockets aren't deep enough for a R34 yet)

well for the aristo i'm sure Roadside will be able to clarify more but i'm assuming your looking at the V160/161 or R154 gearbox both of which are getting more and more rare with the v160/161 going for around £2k second hand
