It can be done either way
out the tops the favourity way as you have to drop the subfraem to get out out the bootm.

If you can have the stuff out the bottom its eaiser. Its how Renault stick it in.

oh right, my gearbox needs rebuilding thats all, and GDI have qouted round about £1k to do it, which is fair. My bro works in agarage tho and might be able to get it done cheaper, but they are a BMW specialist so I need an idea of exactly how it all works.

if they have the lifte setc I'd drop the engine out the bootm.

However no need to get engine out just for gearbox change/rebuilt. Just lower the subframe on the side pull the shafts etc. Lower the engine on one side etc.

No ned to then refull the air con ssytem etc and the hastle.
