bmpower 3 Report post Posted October 30, 2010 I have a manual gearbox from an e36 325i. It has the following numbers on it. Which gearbox is it? Everything i've read says its probably a 250g? Getrag 042 225 220.0.00225.97 Can anyone in the know help? Also will this bolt up to all m50/m52 engines? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerry 10 Report post Posted October 30, 2010 (edited) its not a 250g as far as im aware, i run the same box in my e30, still a great box non the less.. will fit all listed m20 shifter and mount angle is wrong though and direct fit to m40,42,43,44,m50,52,54..

Ben 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2010 If it came off an m50 it would be safe to presume it would go back on any m50. Pretty sure bell housing bolt spacing is the same through all m50/52 engines, If its a replacement for an 328i/m3 you would need to use getrag linkages as ZF linkages on 328i/m3 are different apparently. I have a spare m50b20 block lying around if you want to check that it bolts up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmpower 3 Report post Posted October 31, 2010 It came off an m50b25, i removed it from the engine. Just wanted to know which box it was. I know it fits m50, and am pretty sure it fits m52/54 just wanted comfirmation. Thanks for the ID site, however doesn't show e36 boxes, just the older ones. Anyone else know what box it is??

BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted October 31, 2010 its a getrag 250 , used in most e36 models . 316i 318i 318i 318ti 316ti 320i 323i 325i .( i believe maybe the 325i version is sleightly stronger ) only the 328i and 3L m3 use the ZF box , and maybe some NZ new 325i 320i etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmpower 3 Report post Posted October 31, 2010 Thanks Brent - it was from a nz new car, but def Getrag. Am i right in thinking it will bolt up to all m50/52/54 engines? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
