Auto to Manual - Gearbox purchased but slightly confused!?

[MatBiscuits]

Hi all, this is probably. question that I should have asked before buying but they don't come up often where I live and its from a dealer with warranty. Im pulling the parts together to do an auto to manual swap and I have just bought the exact gearbox RealOEM said the manual version of my car (a 1990 320i coupe) would come with, part number 23001221870

RealOEM link https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/par...&q=23001221870

Its been removed from a 320i vert so I know it will bolt up but I'm struggling to figure out exactly which box it is so I can start hunting down a propshaft. When searching through Google some sites give the reference S5-16-THMH which I thought was ZF but then the box I have bought is stamped Getrag?

Thanks in advance :-)

Copied directly from E30Zone:

Getrag 240 - MN and BMV (M10 carbureted models), BMO, TBCU and BCX (M40 cars and some 318iS)
Getrag 240 - BCO, BCP and BCT - 318iS and E34 518i (pre 1992 overdrive). These boxes are the longer units with the shorter prop.
Getrag 240 - BMS, MB and BMT - 320i models.
Getrag 242 - LF (316 M10 only), MD and BMU (318i M10)
Getrag 242/5 - AY, AW or LG
Getrag 245 - BJ
Getrag 260 - NW, ANB or TNW
Getrag 260/5 - TNN or HM

Or as most of us know it, a G260, which is a Getrag unit, like all manual E30s. Automatics are ZF units.

The only one not listed there is the G265 for the M3.

Thanks, yeah I had read that earlier... unfortunately they have shipped it already so couldn't tell me what letters were stamped on the bell housing, I guess I'll have to wait until it arrives. They are certain on the part number though so Im sure it will fit, it mainly trying to figure out which prop I need that Im struggling with :-)

Seems ZF S5-16 used in some early euro market cars https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=23_0563, realoem for a S5-16 car doesn't hint that it uses a different shaft from a getrag car; 1525mm.
