M30 gearbox options ?

[iKst]

Hi,

can anyone tell me what gearbox will fit M30 engine ? Will a gearbox from E34 525 (m50) fit ?

No, it's got to be from an M30 powered car i think, E32/4

All early M30 engines can use :

e28: 525i 528i 535i M535i
e23: 728i 728 733i
e24: 628 630 628CSi 635CSi

Later M30 engines can use the above plus:

e34: 530i 535i
e32: 730i 735i

I got this info from http://www.e30.de/ worth a look mate if you haven't already

And no an M50 box won't fit...

Ok if you are going to use the hell out of it, or turbo the car I would go with Getrag 265, but if you are going for power then go with the getrag 280 or if you just want it to work the 260 will work just fine.
now this is just my thought..

You're not the chappy that stacked it at 90mph drifting are you?

No I am not the one more like 45-55 mph shifting from 2-3 gear something went wrong with the signal line from the wast gate that is the only thang I can thank of stright road.
Just not sure what went wrong but I do know that it almost took my life.
and it has been almost 1 year. I should be back to work by the end of this year.

On the right hand side click the 335 link and you should see a button at the top (ish) right that's for an english version

Happy reading

Amazing how stories get blown into all sorts of other proportions, such a shame, feel for you and the very twisted car. You are very lucky to walk away, someone must be looking out for you . Anyway enough O/T from me.
