I found a transmission off of a 1991 e34 that is automatic... Will that be directly swappable with my 1992 auto tranny? I'm pretty sure that both the 91 and 92 e34s had the m50 engine... But I just want to double check this.. Any input would be appreciated!
Also, How long do you think it would take a mechanic to swap the transmissions out? I'd like to estimate the labor bill...
i looked at buying a 91 525 , i dont remember if it was the m50 or m20, but.... it was manufactured in 9/90 and the papers said it was a 91. The one i ended up buying was manufactured in 9/90 and the papers say it is a 90. lol... so i wouldnt doubt that there were both engines in one year.
You have to check the make and model of the transmission. There were a few different transmissions used. Everything has to work with your current EGS module and programming, not to mention the harness.
