Default M90 or M46 Gearbox/Swap Kit

This is my first forum post. I just bought an '88 740 Turbo Sedan, 218k in beautiful condition, but it's auto. I'm looking to swap either an m46 or preferably an m90.

Trying to get as many parts as I can at once for whichever swap comes to me

I read somewhere that somebody sells good condition m90s, but that might have been a decade-old post. I'm sure being a turbobrick owner in the early 2000s was glorious.

Also, how tough is the m90 swap compared to m46? I know they're both somewhat bolt on, but what all would be needed to complete the m90 swap? I'm an experienced wrencher, but I've never done a manual swap before.

It is not overly hard.

I have shipped a few kits to the US but shipping is very much on the expensive side

Ahhh okay. Does it need the m90 pedal box, or could I use one from an m46/7 740?
