hi guys n gals, need some hints on the manual tranny.. heard it can be done.. can i have the gear ratio for them( 318is n 325i).. n wat are the unlikely probs ahead?.. any diff in performance.?.. how about the flywheel?. heard albundy mentioned tat b4.. if it were to install it into 325, is the ratio same(318is=325 or 325=318is)? went thru the info, 325i is using the S5D200/250 getrag and also the ZF 310/320Z.. which is which by the way..? so, 318is is in which category then?. im seriously confused.. thks.. n have a nice weekend..!

If thats the case, tell him to sell cheap cheap lor 
Anyway, a lot of racers prefer to use the iS gearbox since its lighter than the 310/320Z ZF gearbox. I am using it in my car, no problem whatsoever, except that I need to upgrade the clutch

The iS tranny will bolt on to the 325.
The difference between the iS gearbox and the 325 is the torque rating. However, the tranny is over designed and shouldnt have any problem dealing with the extra torque. My current car is pumping out more torque than a 328
All e36 manual gearboxes from the 318i or 318is will fit into the 325/328 engines without any issues. The bell housing is the same. You can even use M50 clutch plates with the iS gearbox.
p/s my car still slow..not a monster yet.

200 hp on wheel still slow meh !!!!!!
Pro, i hate to hear another " Honey, i blew my engine, may i come home" haha..............
hahaha... not monster mer.... i got pretty good feedbacks on the monster rides...
great info.. so the bottom line is, can be done w/o any side effects, just tat need to upgrade the clutchy... any diff in ratio( sounded silly but do great if can provide me the ratio too)...
wat about the flywheel u mentioned b4.. i went thru the ETK.. cannot find anything also.... another issue here..!

thks guys n gals for such an information....
doenst know that all this while, they are using the same tranny, n they even shared the same gear ratios... only diff is the differential, clutchy, n driveshaft(iS is longer than the 325's).. if any if i missed out, pls let me know..
thks again. cheers.

is all about Gear ratio. Jsen u will get low range power but not on high. Maybe at 5 gear 3krpm u car around 100kmh instead of 110kmh or even lower. u get close ratio that give u more torque, but not on high end. i got this concept from Mitshubishi engine. Not sure if it same as BMW correct me if i m wrong.
