So this mornings work has found out that
The oil drain to the sump is a 15mm ID hose.
The bolt head for the oil feed is 14mm but i couldnt get it out to measure the thread.
Oh and all E30,E36 and E46 cars have the same bell housing pattern!!!!
So an E46 320d 6speed box will bolt up, ratios 1-5 are almost exactly the same, it uses the same diff ratio as my car and the 6th ratio is 0.86. (my 5th ratio is 1:1). Now that could be good for fuel economy.
