My 325is has the Getrag 260 (5 spd manual) and I was curious as to how much torque and hp it can handle? if there is a thread on this can someone link it here so I don't waste anyones time.? I didn't happen to see one searching through here. My goals are for a 5-600 hp m20 and just wondering if the tranny can handle that or should I start looking else where? Thanks in advance.

260 is torq rating in newton meters. It means that transmission is ok up to that poing and will go above that, but that's what BMW is rating it at. The above is from BMW training manual.

wait hold on a second now... i very much appreciate facts... but from your reply to the other guys comment it sounded like sarcasm.... which is why i went with sarcasm. I was asking a legitimate honest question. and your reply to desertbmw or whatever look liked sarcasm to me. not sure how this got misconstrued to the extent it was. but i wasnt referring to your post.10 minutes... then we invade China.
