    What tranny

    do the m50 guys run? stock e30, e36....just got my car back with transplant done and the stock transmission - m20 is a bear to get in reverse. Also making some noise so if I have to replace the transmission want to make sure I get the best thing....

      thanks jordan - I was thinking that was the way to go - any idea if either of those call for driveshaft shortening or any of that jazz - or do they bolt right up?

          ^^^ Makes the process easier from what I've heard, also shifts a little better.

            normal e36 m50 tranny will bolt in and use the stock e30 325i 5spd driveshaft.

            e36 m3 tranny will need a e30 M3 driveshaft.
