Due to medical problems I am thinking of changing to an automatic car. Same model and car but with an step auto gear box. Rather than shell out more for another car I was wondering how feasible it is to do a gearbox change on my car. I realised with modern cars it is much more complex but I was wondering how do-able it is? If so how much, what is required etc... Thanks!

Easier to go from manual to auto than other way but its a big job... Pedal block, ECU's, looms etc... Trade it in for an auto ;)

Damn! I don't really want to change my car as I've got the perfect model I like just without an auto gear box.. no idea why I bought a manual! Is it really that much of an operation? I can see it being a pain and quite costly as there is no way I could do it myself....... LOL :rolleyes:

      Electrical issues

      You haven't given much away here ? But Welcome to the Forum anyway I know there have been a number of recalls since 2020, here I am assuming (dangerous) that all yours are up to date ? I have read of several incidents of SME faults 21F21F seems one of the most common with PHEV. Why BMW seem to deny there are issues I just don't understand. Check the US sites they may have more information due to Class Actions in the USA manufacturers tend to move faster with fixes and Recalls Good Luck Dave

      Lower window molding

      Morning Shawn Take a look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box, it will call up your model then search the Body and Trim sections You should find what you need there, once you have the part and it's part number then you can search for the best price for a replacement Dave

      Lower window molding

      Can you guys tell me the best place to order a lower window cowl molding for a 2013 BMW 320i? Mine is super dry rotted and I’m getting water in my driver’s side floor board. I checked the sunroof water tubes and they seem to work well. I also ran water on the outside of drivers door to see if it was the door vapor barrier but didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. The cowl is the only obvious thing that looks bad.

      E64 New Mats - Recommendation Needed

      Hi Paul Carpets are a "Touch and Feel" purchase in my mind for my wife's Subaru I had a local Carpet fitter make up a set. He did a great job all edges taped and stitched and the non slip pads on the back he was able to get the car mats out of off cuts (Contract quality Wilton in Beige). He charged around half the cost of Subaru direct might be worth tracking down a fitter and asking Another thought are Guys like Quarry Motors but again you would be buying unseen but at least they know what OEM BMW mats are.
