I called them and they said they have never done it before....and recommended me to Bill Arnold Independent BMW who has done it before and he said he can do it in about 10-20 hours...I am getting all the parts from Double 02 Salvage in Hayward...

10-20 hrs?? That sounds excessive but maybe I'm missing something. I was quoted 5 hrs of labor from Motorsport Techniques in Hayward and Rennwerks in Mountain View for a clutch job, which involves taking off the tranny and obviously putting back on.

Bavarian Enterprises is a good company.

I had my M3 engine installed there.

Two big thumbs up to them

How much is the tranny from O2?

If you're planning on heavily modding your car in the future, i suggest you go with a ZF tranny rather than the ghetto Getrag and you and I have.

I just did my auto-six speed swap for 1500 bucks and im sure theyd do it for you. It was one of my buddies at the BMW dealership too. He might even do it a little cheaper...I could ask...let me know, its in the north bay, san rafael.(sonnen bmw) pm if you want me to ask. I also have a driveshaft and a five speed if you need one??
