Have you guys got any photos of the above please. e30 318/316

I need to find out whether there are differences or a change of casing through the production run. Daft I know but any photos much appreciated.

I am trying to swap a m20 front casting piece with a m10/m40 one I and I need to know if they fit....

regards

Mark

I don't think m10/m40/m42/m20 bell housings are the same.

Cheers for that!
I never new about that site. Very useful!!!

I'm trying to find out whether the rear of a 245 dogleg box casing will fit the front of a 240 casing?

I have a very rare dogleg five speed from an early 323i and I'm trying to get it to fit my m10 block. The only reason I can't put the front casing of the original four speed on it is because the selector shaft is too long and there is an indent pin at the front of the shaft which is accessed through a hole in the side.
If the e30 5 speed has the indent pin and the long shaft then I'm laughing, if it hasn't then I might have a dogleg box for an m20 for sale.
