5 spd from 318 1984/5

Recommended Posts

The supply of 245's is getting thin. Anyone have a 2002 with a later 240 from a 318 installed? I know someone wanting to make a kit and wants to see a car with one installed.

 

Have heard it is easiest when converting automatic as the tunnel is already bigger, is that true|?

 

Thanks

It should fit with no problems, but there's no speedo drive so you'll have to set up either an electronic or GPS-based one.

True statement--no "percussive modification" to the tunnel housing is necessary.

In and done, the only real hitch was the Speedo, for that I just used a GPS unit.

Much more economical than a 245.

 

Kit I purchased off CL $350.00, drive shaft and shifter modified

What speed does it report when driving thru a long tunnel?

A radiator shop is a good place to take a leak.

 

I have no idea what I'm doing but I know I'm really good at it.

Damn, I asked about a 240 trans at least 4 times and the only definitive answer I got was about the frickin' speedo drive. I thought we had a Pasadena brotherhood thing goin' Chargin:)

I've got one I'm not gonna use also.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
