That or you can use part number 25112225369 (for an early euro M3) See http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...81&hg=25&fg=05

Your bro is correct, you need a sheet metal shift tower, etc. I have the same thing in my car, an early trans and a late car.

Wow, now that is cool! I've never seen this before, that's a very handy part.

Indeed. Has any one used one of these on a 260 gearbox? The M3 would have had a 265 box, i think. I'm curious if it puts the shifter in the same place/angle as a late 260.

You guys are useless. Lol. I need a part number. And that one wasn't right.

Just go on realOEM and look up the part for a 1984-85 318i.

[Ray Ban]

It was a 325e ...

[Farbin Kaiber]

Well, it really does not matter, it's the early shifter carrier.

[MR 325]

Go to fucking www.realoem.com and look it up.

What they're saying about 25112225369 is that you can bolt it to the top of the trans and be able to use your old shift arm. So about $5 in parts compared to how much the old sheet metal carrier is. Up to you and how fat your wallet is.

[Ray Ban]

Well after ordering that part my bro said it wouldn't work. So then I bought a $40 part . . . idk. I'm just along for the ride

Wow, the new girl really has you beat in the fixing BMW's department.

[Ray Ban]
