A friend has a 98 328i automatic donor car available. If I were to consider swapping the M52 motor into my 99 ti would I have to locate a manual 328 transmission or will my existing transmission mate up to the M52 motor? | | | 04-03-2012, 06:57 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Auburn, WA Posts: 1,814 | u can use ur stock tranny(getrag) or u can get the 328/m3 tranny (zf) the stock tranny would hold the power no problem __________________ 5/96 318TI Sport BIG TURBO | | | 04-03-2012, 07:59 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Milford, NH Posts: 150 | Quote: Originally Posted by Jean H.318TI u can use ur stock tranny(getrag) or u can get the 328/m3 tranny (zf) the stock tranny would hold the power no problem | Thank you.
