Ok so ,
Trans service ,we can do that
Remove /replace bumper ,we can do that
Interior lightbulbs ,well there are a lot of them too many for one post so which ones ?
Rattles ,I can post the fixes I have found thus far but because rattles are very difficult to diagnose as it is I ave to think how to best write that one .
Engine swap/clutch swap ,sure but why swap engines on CL .The clutch is a huge piece of work for the average DIY person so I will leave that alone for now .
5AT to 6MT conversion .The parts cost alone makes this prohibitive add to that I have never tried it .
FWD to RWD conversion with hammer and screwdriver ,easy ...............use hammer and screwdriver as a tool to open wallet .Go to local BMW dealer buy an M3 post photo as proof of purchase and bragging rights .
Fuel filter replacement ,we can do that .
Twin Turbo ,see comments about FWD to RWD but buy an M5 instead .
Coilovers springs sways ,some of this is already done and archived the rest we can do .
Crank pulley ,we can do that
Paddle shifters or button shifters .The idea is simpl even the electrics are simple .Scooter and I talked about this at length .I ended up buying a VW so I never got past the sketches part .
How to bribe a tech???????I can post on that seperately LOL

MODS PLEASE MAKE A DIY SUBTOPIC.
IF all the DIY was archived into a subtopic, everyone can access everything they can do to a Cl quick and easy. Im really interested in footwell lighting by the way, but itll prob be too hard for me to do.
