Changing Gearbox

[boe328]

Hi everyone.

Do you think that changing the transmission of BMW would be a good thing or not?

Can the tiptronic tranmission be installed to E36's or M3 1991 to 1997?

Is there any workshop that does this and professional?

Approximately, how much would it cost to do that?

Get in touch with Ayham, he should be able to shed some light on swaps and Das Autoworks do a very neat n clean work !

I hope Ayham can advice me if later I can change automatic transmission to tiptronic and approximately how much it will cost me...

Ok lets get this straight ..... u have an e36, and u want to switch ur tranny to "tiptronic":

Well there are 2 scenarios for the switch:

1. from auto to tiptronic --> and that would be "pointless"
2. from manual to tiptronic --> (i would definetly be kicked out if i type something here)

please clarify

[Ayham]

Doable or not, never been interested in making a car automatic. A stick shift is the way to go....

i believe one of the users on this forum who goes by the name of "the caveman" has done several types of transmission swaps on e36s. i seem to recall him saying he's done automatic, manual, tiptronic, steptronic, shiftronic, supertronic, megatronic, ultratronic, SMG, DCT and even once an Alfa Romeo Selespeed transmission swap. be prepared to spend a lot though; probably in the ballpark of 13,000 zamondinos... best of luck dude

As Ayham Said Nothing like manual specially on E36s ... Ill swap mine soon to Manual as well and as far as i know it wont cost over 3k.. Das is your solution

aaah .... the good old days of Zamonda! ... probably the the best place to go to for a tiptronic swap!
