Done this !
Remove flywheel, fit flexplate.
Don't forget to remove pilot bearing in end of crank or auto torque converter won't fit !!!

Strictly speaking the injectors are different for the engine profiles, but I left the manual injectors in and they worked fine for many thousand miles.

I swaped the engine wiring loom from the auto but pretty sure they are the same.

Otherwise all else same.

Replace all hoses and do the starter solenoid contacts while engine out!!!

What is the flexi plate
Never had the engine out
I won't be doing it but a bmw fitter will

Flexplate is the effective flywheel for an auto. It bolts on where the flywheel comes off. Then it bolts to the torque converter on the auto box. The pilot bearing to come out is in the centre of the crank at the flywheel end.

If a mechanic is any good he will do it no problem.
