Posting for a friend, he's gotten ahold of a 5 series Getrag dogleg box and was wondering if there was any versions of BMW that had this box with a manual speedo drive instead of an electronic version so he could install it into his box?

Its not going into a BMW but infact a Opel Manta GTE with a 2.4 engine from a frontera that's been breathed on to around 190bhp :mad: and he's using the BMW box due to the fact it's got a 1:1 final drive for accleration.

Need the numbers and letters stamped into the edge of the bellhousing flange - NOT the casing cast numbers.

Hi

The 265 box can be conveted to a speeod drive, normally done when dropping them into an 02 OR E21. The drive hole is hole is blanked of, you need the parts from and 02 box, google for 02 dogleg conversions as there are a few sites giving the detail.
