Research notes
Caveats and conflicts (4)
- Same 1991 limit as above.
- Same caveat as the 240 line.
- Wikipedia gives no year or engine split for the 260. M5 used Getrag 280 (3.6 L) and 540i used 6-speed Getrag 420G; both excluded as M or 6-speed.
- Which of 518i to 530i and 525td used the 260 is not stated. Diesel 525td box not named in source.
