    318is M42 new gearbox? will a m50 gearbox fit?

    Hi guys,
    noobie here, ive never posted on this forum before but been visiting for a while now.

    ive got a 318is 1990 m42 turbo charged... makes 213kw at the rear wheels

    a few days ago i killed my gearbox and am now looking for a stronger replacement. I keep hearing that i can fit a gearbox from a e36 m50 motor.

    if i was to put this gearbox in would i also need the e36's tail shaft?

    im sure some one has done this before but i cant find definate answers

    cheers.
Working...
