c32 engine swap in 05 ss??
I searched and didn't find much... I love my car, and the 05' ss interior and looks... I nkow everyone would say why not sell ur car and get a c32.. Well, like is aid i like the updated interior, i don't want a c55, cuz i want the c32 motor ( i would rather have a boosted v6) and also i want a stick... there is no way i could drive a an auto.
So now to the questions... does anyone know if the c230 6-spd trnny could handle the power of the c32?
where would u get a c32 motor...
and also woudl it be possible to integrate it with the c230 gauge cluster etc.
I"m sure as long as the computer goes u would jsut have to plug in the c32 ecu..but then i don't know how that would work since it owuld be using a different tranny..
It would be a LOT EASIER if mercedes would just come out with a fu**** AMG with a 6-spd!!!!!!
thanx to all that might have any info for me!

More Trouble Than It's Worth. When I was a kid it was relatively easy to upgrade an auto to a stick.....no more, forget it. Too many electronic, electric, and mechanical dependancies on the transmission type.

i LOVE the m3's too, prolly the next car i will get..

Another option is to trade in your C230K and get a used C320 sport sedan with 6 speed manual and then get it supercharged (Kleeman). With that, you will have performance either close to or slightly exceeding a stock C32 (depending on how much money you want to spend). Kleeman supercharger +/- ECU and camshafts runs around $10000-15000 USD.
