Do the n52 engine mods first. N55 is pain because of the wiring. Trust me been there done that. The N54/55 is more than you think because 128 has small spline rear axles, different trans, diff, rear brakes. S65 = deep pockets and almost worthless without going 1m clone.
so OP did mention manual tranny swap in his first post and despite the mass amount of people saying it's stupid and "it makes more sense to just sell an get a 6MT 1er", I know there's people out there who have done it (I think one got tuned at BPC with all the bells and whistles in terms of bolt on's as well)

anyone wanna chime in on this
