This is my goal for my 500SE.
Score an M120, and use a getrag out of a recent diesel BMW which is a beefy box capable of handling up to 800Nm of torque.
I figure it's better to share this in the 140 section, because it'll be you folks I reach out to for bits and pieces and advice once I finally get a chance to get started on this.
Now, before anyone says "Why would you want a manual V12 in a big car like that?", it's because I just do. My car is a short wheelbase car, and it's very nimble even in its current form. A manual V12 in a luxury sedan just seems right to me.
The idea is to have something super quick, but basically look like a total sleeper, with a manual box for personal driving preference while incorporating a powerful motor for long distance cruising capable of having an abundance of power whenever I need it.
