Your profile says you're in the states, so getting your hands on a european transmission (the M59) is going to be much more difficult. I'd keep your eyes open for a M56, much easier to find. If you want the challenge, I'd say find the M66 (six speed) as far as I can tell it'll mount up easily. You might have to change the flywheel, but I'm not sure. Since its only 10 bolts to switch them I'd think it'd be worth it for another gear.. Finding a M66 might be a challenge, I believe they started in '04 or '05, so most of them are still on the road. The M56 should be pretty easy to get your hands on though.

If you're not driving it "like its stolen," are you really driving?
