Wanted: Gearbox for E36 328i
Discussion
Hi all.
As per the title, I've given up on the idea of repairing the damaged low-mileage gearbox on my '95 328i as quoted prices are £500+ so want to locate a good used gearbox to fit instead.
If you have a gearbox that works with no noisy gears and all working synchros, preferably with a sensible mileage please let me know!
It's the ZF 5-speed 'box I need, as fitted to the E36 323i and 328i.
Cheers,
Ben

Careful, many 323i's have the smaller 250G Getrag box - from memory it was the Touring that had the bigger 320ZF.
The box you want was fitted to:
E36 328i snd 3.0 M3
E46 328i and 330i
E34 525i
E39 523i Touring, 525i, 528i and 530i.
I would contact Quarry Motors in Sheffield for a box - they've got plenty and have a very good workshop to fit it.

I've carried out very extensive testing on it to make sure it works all the way up to 7000rpm!

If you are struggling to find one, a Gearbox from a 4pot E36 fits, (bonus they are a bit lighter, because daily) might be easier to find a low mileage version, and they are a lot cheaper to buy.
