Help.
Does anyone know which gearbxes will fit onto a 2.7 conversion?

I have a dogleg box at the moment but 1st 2nd and 3rd are getting a bit crunchy on the changes.

Would a 320 box fit or is it 2.5 only?

Also does anywhere do recon boxes as too many£Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£ from dealer.
Thanks in advance.

PS good to seen the zone back!

Fit a short ratio 325i Sport box. Very very nice 1st 2nd and 3rd ratios.

A 320 box would fit as would both a standard 325 and a C/R 325 box as found in sports. I run a c/r box in my 2.7 and agree with M5Pilot that this is the best choice. If you going on budget then I have a few standard 325 boxes at the moment.
