Research notes
Caveats and conflicts (5)
- Wikipedia E87 article only says Getrag GS6 gearbox from 2006 (no code).
- 325i/325xi are not named for the 6-speed in the source; 325xi is listed with the 5-speed ZF S5-39.
- Diesel 330d uses S6-53; M3 uses Getrag 420G.
- Getrag GS6-17BG also appears on the E60 page for smaller engines.
- Source lists 2.2i/2.5i with the 5-speed Getrag S5D250G; 2.5i 6-speed shown only as SMG.
