South Florida SMG to Manual Swap

Looking for a reputable shop who can swap out a mint 2005 zcp. The car is very low mileage and in incredible shape. I have serious trust issues and want to find someone who will take care of the car as if it's their own

Im in the same boat as you and got excited for a moment about Miami Performance so i gave them a call. I was cut off mid sentence once the guy heard "e46 m3 smg to manual conversion" and was told that they dont do this type of work. Let me know if you come by another shop in SoFla

@Scottcooper27 on Instagram is located in Palm Beach Gardens and has done quite a few swaps for dealerships and individuals. He has a private garage at his house, he has worked on my car before and I would recommend him.

Out of curiosity - why did you buy ///M with SMG and now you're swapping to manual?

I was aiming SMG from the begging and I'm very happy with it - especially on a racetrack.

Cheers!

DM me for shop name that specializes in our platform. No allegiance to them, they've just always treated me right (7 years+)

It's in Sunrise.
