haha thanks the shoe fits very well, the trans is from 540i, mated with custom bell housing/spliced, actually welded on, clutch from e46 M3. The rear of tranny has adapter machined to fit and also welded on and thus TC bolted onto it. I will provide specific pics of this, but boy I gotta figure out how to reduce size of the pics lol

Nice swap, any more info about the trans? Like what you did to it or how its mounted to the TC
BTW, nice shoe!

Tranny in place, needs custom mount, rear drive shaft shortened, front drive shaft lengthened

Btw. Sold the gearbox in the pictures and ordered a DCT gearbox from 2010 e93 335i. ;D

Curious - What differential ratios are available with your set up? Does the front differential use a 168MM ring and pinion?
With this gearing I must change to 5th gear right at the end of 1/4mile so that's not good.., but I may end up using the 7 speed DCT gearbox at somepoint and then the gearing is OK again (fast shift times).

Few upgrade pics from the Project.. maybe this is not 24v related, but may help someone with plans to swap beefier drivetrain. I made the transtunnel little bit "too big" to make the drivetrain package serviceable as possible.
Plates around transfercase and front driveshaft are 3mm thick. Hopefully that will keep the parts out of the car in case of drivetrain explosion. (yes, welds are horrible :D.. had difficulties with 0.6mm wire and 3mm steel)
And finally a picture how e70 x5 front driveshaft goes "bolt-on" to E30. :D
Ok.. I do have to modify the flange in the diff to 4 bolt-pattern, but otherwise the lenght is exactly correct and if you order this driveshaft with correct number from BMW it only cost ~110€ new (~120$).Last edited by mw044; 09-28-2016, 09:03 AM.

Nice work. Can't imagine there are too many ix's with 6 speed transmissions around.
