yeah, as turbo brown says, they're the manufacturer of the gearboxes. getrag suply most of the gearboxes for BMW since the beginning of BMW, however there are ZF 'boxes used on some auto's.
getrag gearboxes are highly rated among the 'box industry, and produce a lot race specific products also...

argos, i've noticed that too, but the parts dept at work has also got another system that compares 'this to that', so eventually you find what you're looking for...

e36 328 and 3.0 M3 box is a ZF too. They are stronger but heavier than the Gatrag apparently.
