Need advice - gearbox using ATF Vaico long life

[ICEMAN 68]

If not mistaken normally japan model will be using Japanese gearbox which is normally Jatco. Reason is its a trade agreement that a certain percentage of the contents must be local.

SLY ...the e46 variant of the 2.0 onwards comes with ZF or GM ...

IMHO the jatco comes for the older models 36ers / e34ers ....taken from the japanese cefiro's

You are right bro using JATCO Gb same as mine...

Bro,
Checked my vin but a bit confused because my car is imported from Japan however on vin information is Europe region spec. Furthermore, my GERAN year of manufacturing 2001 but VIN 1999. I'm more concern on the gearbox whether is ZF or GM and according to my mechanic all Japan spec is using GM gearbox and not using ZF auto transmission oil.

Choose UK Sedan if it is 252i then look for 523i like mine...
