The gearbox was removed from below after disconnecting the remote, needed to refer to the manual to work out how to remove the tension bush (4), needed to push out the small pin with a pin punch which expanded the bush enough for it to slip out. The grub screw at the back of the shifter (18) eluded me for a while as it was covered with road dirt and oil http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=ST13&mospid=47129&btnr=23_0775&hg=23&fg=15
After removing bell housing bolts and the starter motor the box with a couple of shakes came loose and was lowered gently to the floor by getting under it and resting on my chest (box is light and have more control than a jack!
Then onto the engine, very easy to remove as the gearbox was off there is no need to tilt the motor and it came straight up after taking the weight on the engine hoist and removing engine mounting bolts.
