I might go with z3 1.9 but not sure will it plug and play without any modification.

it is pretty well plug and play. you may need to modify the shifter a small amount but for the most part is straight forward. i would change out all the bushings while your at it.

i used a E21 shifter. very short and smooth, not like the Z3 shifter that was in the car.
