The M20 260/5 is specific to all M20B25/27 powered E28s, E30s, and E34s. The exception is the 265/5 which has a removable bellhousing and only found on the '82 528e.
The supposed best M30 tranny is the 265/5 which has a removable bellhousing and is found in the 85 535i/635csi/735i and '80-81 E12 528i. There is also the 260/6 found in the 86 and later M30 powered cars and the 260/5 which is found in the '83-84 533i/633csi/733i.
HTH.

And all the trannys have different lengths, so you need to plan your drive shaft work according to what tranny you will use. M30 swaps are exhausting keeping track of all the details.

I always forget it. You know who knows (I think he discovered it) is Ely. RS4pro-whatever.
Anyone else remember?
Yup I remember. Any driveshaft from ETAs/Super ETAs built from 5/86-9/87 is the one you want combined with position III and the 260/6.

Out in the field (junkyard) just disregard that only old eta cars had the
larger flex disc. I've found them on allot of 325is. My 1990 325i has one too.
