[QUOTE="jsen, post: 203965, member: 675"] yup, sometimes bentley are kinda deceiving too..For 328 & m3, i've gotta admit it that its definitely diff gbox, . I've consulted a few on this matter too, m42 to m50, no doubt, tats not an issue at all. On theoretically, ratios are same, but not the torque rating. Practically, I have a doubt on it too.. i've tried searching on the internet, n surprisingly, it concurs too with the bentley info. On ebay, the selller are selling the gbox n their info was--> fits all from e36 318 - 325, its a 220 getrag. I've asked bundy(borrow yr name kejap) too on this matter for the m42 gbox; if my car can, i cant see y your m50 cant.. Then, i did a research on the ETK for m42 gbox, n was shocked to find tat the m43 gbox are the same as m42, they even shared the same part number.. Now my own hypothesis is, if m42 = M43(gbox) & M42 = M50 then M43 = M50. Correct me if im wrong. just to share. I believe this have been a myth since long, i would seriously like to put an end to it too.. or maybe just me... Would like to hear more from u too..;) TT, my pleasure man.. [/QUOTE]
