Hi all,

I am Auckland based, a bit new to bmw's but not new to cars in general having owned countless vw/audi's have owned 3 bmws so far :). In the process of figuring out how to swap 6hp21 into a pre facelift e61 530i to make a perfect daily driver, so you will be seeing a lot more posts about it. My e61 shown below.

Welcome. What box does it have in it at the moment. 6hp19? Or were the E6* unlucky enough to get the GM box like the 130's?

Edit: ignore. Just saw your other post haha.

Funnily enough I've had just as much trouble with 6hp19's as I have with the GMs. I've seen info for the 21 swap somewhere. Probably bimmerforums .

yes absolutlely same here! early 6hp19s are really crap. They improved a lot with the 6hp21/19z.
