why don't you pay the extra for the proper gearbox etc for the m30 engine,surely the m10 gearbox is sub-standard for this motor?
it may save you time and money in the long run if it fails

Do you know the part number for it? no i don't mate,just been looking on ebay for a box etc and can only find a couple 2.5 m30 box's and fly's :roll: i wanted a dogleg box and fly from the m535i really as it would be great on track but they seem few and far between now and when they do come up are ...
