I know very little about BMW. You will have to look for boxes with a separate bell housing, some numbers seem to stick in my mind: 235 and 265. Getrag boxes were used by many, e.g.: Vauxhall, Opel, Jensen, BMW, Jaguar, Maserati, perhaps some smaller GM USA/Australia cars etc. They are generally reliable but the shift mechanism on many has some nylon bushes that need regular replacement or bronze bushes modification.<br>I would not be surprised if the bolt pattern on the boxes with a separate bell bell housing are all the same. <br><br><o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal>Kees, <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>IIRC the Getrag is from a BMW 3 series.
