kingkarl 136 Report post Posted July 22, 2013 I'm after a few bits off this slab. (shotgun transmission) Anyone interested in chipping in and getting some parts off it? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=615624175 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted July 22, 2013 Remember that that's an M20 powered one so the gearbox/driveshaft might not suit an M50. Bog stock E34's really have nothing useful at all in them... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Yeah unless you could get it for 1/2 of that... Brent may know if you could just use a different gearbox. but I'd say you'd need the Correct gearbox for the M50 + a Driveshaft to suit. Or can you modify the selector arm like when you use a G260 in an E30 M5x? The major issue is nobody will usually split just the driveshaft, or just the gearbox.

The major issue is nobody will usually split just the driveshaft, or just the gearbox. we used a m20 gearbox on a my mates e34 520i touring a few years back work out okish just the gearbox leaning over , gearlever leaning over to the rhs a bit . we jacked up the rhs side of the engine a bit to make it less so , used a e36 manual crossmember with extra holes drilled and washers etc , not ideal setup but it worked and fixed a car that had a stuffed auto . better to use a e36 manual box (plenty out there ) and then modify a driveshaft to suit .
