Hello, I am in the market for an e38 BMW and I was trying to see if a manual swap was plausible(I'm gonna go for a bagged V.I.P look) If anyone has information on this I'd love the help. I was also able to come across an e24 635 CSI from 1987 with a manual and would also like to know if dealing with vintage car problems would be easier than swapping the 7 series?

Any info helps just putting feelers out before I start gathering money for a bad idea

Thanks!!
