charles28 136 Report post Posted September 14, 2007 I just tried that Vin Decoder and got the following... I was wondering if this info is correct? as Its a Jap Import BMW, i was told that the transmission is some Japanese type. Are Jap Import E36's assembled in Germany? thanks.

greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Sooo.. because mines a german assembled car. its a non jatco box?...Cars that went to the Jap market had to follow certain regulations. I can't remember the exact percentage but say 40% had to come from local Jap manufacturers. The cars went to Japan partly assembled and were finished there. So the auto box's were made in Japan.Any auto e36 imported from Japan has jap spec's so no it would be a Jatco Edited April 28, 2008 by Nick021 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
