A '79 323i from Europe has lived blocks away from me for many years, belongs to a friend's stepdad. It came from Europe and the only previous owner was the owner of Fisher-Price.
It's at a buddy's shop now, trans is out and bad, they said it had no fluid in it (reasonably reputable european shop in the area).
"Getrag" and "M60" were stamped on it, looking at this page it looks like it may be a Getrag 242
Looks like because of the mechanical speedo drive no other transmissions are interchangeable, besides maybe one from an e12.
Are any transmissions available anywhere? 4 or 5 speed variant? I was offered the car for $2500, but he may have some room to negotiate there.
(I can post some pics of the motor and trans when photobucket stops being a btch)
