    what is this all about?

    A buddy of mine stopped over yesterday with his new purchase. A really nice 1 owner schwartz 325is with like 129k on it, Its as close to showroom as youll find and once hes done with it it will be perfect. We got to talking and he told me it had a close ratio tranny in it. So I asked him if it was a dogleg and he said no. So i told him that all 6 cyl e30's came with the 260 and they wernt close ratio. Then he sends me this from Wikipedia

    The 325is was an upgrade from the standard 325i, as some new features were added to the car as standard. These included the full electrics package, black roof-liner, BMW "is" body kit, BMW 14 inch BBS "Basketweave" wheels and a Close Ratio gearbox. Other features also found on the 325is were options, however over time, some have been mistaken for standard features. These options include a 25% Limited Slip Differential (LSD), M Sport suspension with Bilstein struts, M-Sport II Steering wheel, BMW sports seats, leather interior, sunroof and BMW 15 inch BBS wheels. Options differed on vehicles produced in the United States.

    Now half of that is bullshit like the black headliner and IS body kit and 15 inch wheels. Is wikipedia always wrong??

    Parts catalogue shows they had 2 manual transmission options, SPORTS and OVERDRIVE. Assuming the sport transmission is dogleg though.

                All the close ratio trannys were dogleg and optional. BMW didnt design a 260 CR gearbox for E30s but instead used the 245 CR box from the E21, i pulled one out of pull-a-part and was surprised to a 245 in an e30 chassis. Possibly the best 65 bucks i have ever spent.

                    Was the black headliner ever an option or standard in some obscure european country? Most of the time I get ready to rage at Wikipedia for being wrong I realize that the info IS accurate but not in my country...

                      Ironically as a whole Wikipedia has less errors than the Encyclopedia Brittanica, but this here is just total shit. Someone needs to fix these errors asap! I don't believe BMW made a close ratio gearbox in the 80s that wasn't a dogleg.

                            Perhaps a special racing gearbox.
