Driftit 2243 Report post Posted Saturday at 10:51 PM Honestly don't bother unless you have to. The 6hp19 is only marginally better than the GM. I believed all the hype, but after having owned both examples at the same time I have left my GM. It's a lot of effort for near no gain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 6hp21 on came with the n52 in lci 525i's and 530i's so pretty much impossible to get. You need to get a 6hp21 out of a 335i or 135i make sure it's past a mid 2007 build date as the revised the transmission. Make sure you get the mount and torque converter with it. Then you need to find some n52 zf trans cooler lines off a pre lci 130 of pre lci 325i or 330i as the GM lines won't work. Also will need to get a N55 6 bolt auto transmission flex plate along with some new bolts. I could find the flex plate on NZ so got one from the US. For the install you need to repin the transmission connector and definitely would doing new mechatronic seals and a pan/filter. All good to go after that, if you also want xhp you will need to get you hands on a matching 335i or 135i Key And CAS module. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
