Hi,
Its the Getrag 280 / 6/ 6 speed.
A lot of 6 speed BMW's use it, but not sure which bell housing you will need.
The Getrag 280 / 6/6 was used on the -
E34 3.8 M5
E34 540i
E 36 3.2 EVO
E39 M5
E39 540i
E46 M3
And a few others that escape me, but its the bellhousing you need to make sure fits.
Hope that helps,
Regards,
The Gorilla.
