I had a quality BMW shop and Pro3 builder do my G260 swap. The transmission, new clutch/flywheel, short throw shifter, bushings, and other misc parts and items cost less than $2500 including labor. A $5k manual example will have a used clutch/flywheel and who knows what shape the transmission is really in, what else…

A pre-purchase inspection works wonders to find lies, omissions, or things the owner just might now know about. Then you know what it can cost to get to a condition you want.
Apples to oranges. 4 cyl E36 vs 6 cyl E30.
Most of the parts for E30's aren’t any more expensive than my 89 Corolla. Power steering rack isn’t too expensive and E36 M3 racks are great improvements. Coolant level sensor is cheap and easy to replace. G260 transmission swaps are commonplace. You don’t have to offer when the seller asks either. 25+ year old cars…
This car looks like a nice choice for someone who doesn’t mind fixing up a few things. The price is good, the body appears solid, it’s a good candidate for an E36 M3 steering rack, and a G260 manual swap would be excellent. The odometer can be fixed with new gears. Coolant level sensor is quick and cheap to replace.…
Fire the detailer. Look at those rotary buffer holograms!
The sad thing is it’s easier to get dealers and manufacturers to cover warranty work than it is to get health insurance to cover health issues.

How many Mazda’s have you driven? You don’t appear to have driven many, or any.
310lb/ft of torque that’s unchanged no matter what fuel is used. This guy will scoot along at least as well as the previous CX-9, if not better, and that was more than adequate.
What’s the option code in the TRD catalog?
You must not realize that the 3.8 is a Cosworth developed engine. If you think that’s average....
No, they aren’t exactly the same as the facelift 6s GT. They function the same but the housing is a little different color.
Optional comfort seats.
It has the optional comfort seats, which are more expensive and more adjustable than the sport seats. That’s straight from the VIN, as well as the M Sport Package, M Sport Suspension, M Leather Steering Wheel, and M Aerodynamics Package.
That’s 100% a 540i M Sport car.
