Wow.

[Jareh]

no other comments ???

[jrhaile]

why did you call him dear?

[bitcore]

she's probably female I dont know.
Call Vines Auto and ask them some questions. They specialize in parting out BMW's and if you need an engine or a new gearbox, they will help you out.

I do not know if the 320's gearbox is designed for lower torque than a 235 or 328. I'm willing to bet it's the same.

I may be wrong... and you're vocabulary really could be limited because you're new to English/American ( ). But, I find it interesting that the words you DO understand are "replacement", "torque", and "gearbox". Also, you could use abbreviations such as "ECU", "q" (internet english) and "&"... and "alot" is technically slang, last time I was in grade school.

You were also able to use future tense ("torque will be increased") and even a pronoun ("sorry to say it"). However, the simple grammar errors that you made are taught first in foreign language learning.

I suspect foul play!

What country are you from/in? English-speaker's are the only ones with BMW forums?

Still, if I am wrong, just for the future... ya... calling him "dear" isn't a bad word, of course. It's sarcastic and seems rude, especially when no one can read facial expressions or the tone of voice.

Anywaz, as for the question, and I'm no mechanic, so check all this out...
If there is any difference in the engine's peak torque, and you say that there is, that would probably mean you need to get a conversion kit or whatever for a new gearbox.

thanks alot dear

Whoopsie, I'd assumed the car was a manual... it may be more efficient to just get a gearbox adaptor kit or something of the like... I'm sure someone else can help you more than me.
