Hey guys, I have a 2014 228i 6 speed manual right now and I'm considering swapping in a b58 and doing the doc race single turbo kit on it. I got my car for pretty cheap so I have extra money to do the swap. I was just wondering if anyone knows if the manual transmission from an n20 would line up with a b58, or if I would need to also swap in the transmission. I plan on doing an m2 style widebody kit and making it a full on track car. I would love to buy an m2 or m240i, but It would feel wrong to take an m2 or m240i and do the mods I wanna do to it. Please let me know, I'll keep you guys posted on the build. Cheers

Wow, looks like your way beyond the skill level of others here, and no one wants to touch a heart transplant! My only thought is: even if the B58 mates to your transmission, is the tran even rated for that kind of power? I would look for a 2018 M240i with low miles and go crazy from there.
Good luck, and do post if you go forward with this.

How so?

That's my thinking. At so many $10s of K that it's unlikely anyone will ever do it, it's still a fascinating idea.

All-in, I'd suggest looking at used GT3s. Well, except for the cost of owning one!
