dude, sweet find. Wish the 2002 i had was in as good as shape when i had that. Then i traded for my E30 and i cant complain. If you want some parts here are a few good site.

Good luck with it man, and btw if you want some 5 spd swap parts i have an entire e30 318 that can help ya. The block has a hole in the side as big as my fist, but the trans and harness and computer are all there as well as a rear diff. Hit me up before i get rid of it, i’ll sell cheap.
