G260 preparedness for swap

[amcink]

You need everything from 1995 325i

Thanks for the clarification

Ok got the G250 from a 95, will my m20 derive shaft work with this or do y need the e36 driveshaft. Also how about my M20 clutch and single mass flywheel can I use this with the G250?

Do you use just the front half of the driveshaft or the entire shaft?

The entire shaft is what I will get and understand that is need it

What type of maintenance I need to do to the G 260 prior installing onto the M50 swap?

OK pick n pull special this weekend G250+drivetrain for about $110 bucks due to the 50% memorial day - there are some ZFSG320 + drive train but not on special at the Premier side and it cost about $460. Therefore I'm getting grease this weekend and pulling the G250 and drive train; shift linkage and clutch
Thanks everyone for their input

uh-huh. this is what everyone does when fitting e36 driveshaft on E30 as the center bearing standards are different.

I used a e30 center bearing + e36M automatic driveshaft for my e46320D euro 6 speed conversion

Thanks- I will start my hunt and wait for the pick n pull 50% special.

G250 transmission is oem factory bmw attached to m50 engine.......



For any 24v engine you can use any 24v gearbox with its matching e36 driveshaft

Zf sg310 and 320 5 speed is with s50/ s52/m52

G250 5 speed is with m50 from e36 325 and 323i.

The g250 and e36 325 driveshaft fit a e30 perfectly just like a zfsg320 and e36 328i
Driveshaft. Get the shift linkage/driveshaft/gearbox all at once.

e30 center bearing is fitted to the e36 driveshaft to match e30 body.

328i is as common as 325 or 323 in the scrapyards

Same concept; much more common parts. All oem and avail CHEAP

Wagan would you please expand on the plug and play; if i found a transmission g250 and its drive shaft to install on my M50 it is jsut plug and play?
The transmission it is $129 at pick n pull and about $50 for the drive train. how about the diff; can i use my E30 one (2.93 I believe)

drive shafts for it are very common also; from 323/325 e36 all day long almost free if you ask friends.

one could probably profit if selling off the G260+its driveshaft and going to a E36 G250+g250 driveshaft with correct tilt/shifter linkage to plug and play with e30 24V

I find the later model 97-05 getrag 250 to be a good lightweight transmission. Because E30 is much lighter than E36 and E46, I find this transmission to be very good and holds S52 no problem.
