Not clear whether that one is a manual. Might be.

Same with this one.

This one appears to be.

Don't quote me but honestly I think its almost the same box that started life in the 540 way back when and also appeared in the E39, E60 and F10 M5.

I'd be surprised if it could handle all that torque, but maybe a few tweaks does the trick.

End thread.
Considering the bonus point structure, I think the ctsv wagon is actually the unicorn he's after. Although, we all know he'll never buy an American car. :p

The clear answer is to drop requirement #2 and buy a mint condition E46. :p

Seriously

Like the zhp he had 10 years ago, or the wagon. :lol:

Exactly :D

ZHP with an S54 swap or ZHP with a twin-screw supercharger kit.

It's not the same transmission, but as long as the Getrag isn't abused under shifting, it'll take a shit ton of power.

No. It was a nice car, and I liked it A LOT, but it has no torque, no LSD, and it's too old (in several respects). Plus I had one, and a very similar one (E91). Combined, that's over 8 years of a similar type of car.
