Driftit 2069 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 Isn't the E34 box a Getrag 265 and the E30 a 260? Could be different ratios. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be different ratios. no both called 260 265 is know as the older dog leg box with the 1:1 top gear ratio , like used in some e30 m3 and older models like in some e28 M535i 528i e24 635csi etc but most have the 260 box Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
