    I was originally thinking, man what a waste of labor money only to find out it won't work. But on the bright side, it's basically just a clutch replacement job up until this point, granted you did also remove the shifter assembly. But maybe it wasn't all a waste if you throw a new clutch in?

    even with a different bolt pattern the 645i manual can be made to fit as you probably only need a specific custom-made adapter plate. However, you will need the pedal mounting etc from the 6 coupe. Even a Merc AMG 55 can be converted with a manual Nissan gearbox using a custom-made adapter plate.

Well, I won't be surprised if the same thing happens to Hoovie. The more I watch his videos he seems to taken every opportunity to say or do something sexual, or hint at odd sexual innuendo's in his videos and in videos with the Wizard. Then in this video he did what he did with that shifter. Johnny saw it and just walked away. Good for him. Hoovie needs to chill out with that stuff.
