    different output flange.

    You want a Getrag 260 out of a 325e/i

    Josh on this board is selling a 260 from a 325iS.

      The i tranny's will not work, as the i tranny's do not have the crank reference sensor holes. only 87' e and pre 87' 260's will work. I was just not sure if the 265 would bolt up?
      Output flanges are also interchangeable with the correct 30mm thin-walled socket. thanks for the info about the tranny FS though.

        The marking for the sensors are there.... you just need to drill them. The bellhousing is soft aluminum, it isnt hard to drill.

            Euro Depot is owned by Joel, used to be friends with him back when I lived in NH.

            Joel is good people, won't do you wrong.

                265 are for the US M3's to. They have a removable bell housing. So if you could attach the proper housing then yes it would fit.

                however you are better off just getting a G260 a bolting it up.
