I'm pretty new to the beamer world, and I live in a snow state. I bought my bmw in the early summer not thinking about the winter time and my subi is going out of commission. I'm wondering if I can buy a 3 series Xi transmission and driveshaft and put them in my 328i?

No, to start ,the transmission mounting points on the body are different.

If you're at all a competent driver, just put good winter tires on and send it
