It is your 265! The 265 is a great bulletproof gearbox, if it is acting funky at all it is probably time for a rebuild.
The way I see it this, Jim Blanton at Performance gearing is arguably the best BMW gearbox guy around. When I got my gearbox back from him there was a big note on the side of it "REDLINE MTL ONLY"
