6-Speed Transmission Pros/Cons? | BMW CCA Forum.Security Measure
I was planning on upgrading to the factory 6-speed only to find out that the first 5 gears in the 6-speed were equivalent to the first 4 in the 5-speed, rendering the swap useless has I gone through with it Any input or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Post Count: 1, Likes Received If you do decide to do this upgrade, I found something for you Zionsville Autosport sells two versions of the upgrade kit: one version is without the transmission you source this yourself , and another version includes the transmission this is likely to be a lot more expensive, but will save you the possible aggravation and grief of picking up a used one and discovering it to be a abused one instead.
If you can source a six speed manual compatible with your engine on your own, that wasn't thrashed within an inch of its life by Ronnie Ramjet or Johnny Hardcoreracer, go for it. But in their defense, paying too much for an abused tranny off Ebay or Craigslist isn't wallet friendly either. If you can find one that was wrecked and not raced, abused, or neglected, you might get lucky as long as its not damaged and you don't get raped on the price.
You may also be able to google this transmission model and find a direct vendor. You might also want to ask how much power this transmission is rated to handle. Non-M cars didn't have a whole lot of power behind this six speed, and I don't know what your power output is on your modified M3, but it's likely a lot more than the to hp these non-M baby sixes are rated at.
You might also get lucky with a 1-series car also. If you're doing it strictly for extra MPG, the numbers are not going to work for you. Spending five grand or more to get an extra one to three MPG difference is going to take you YEARS for the gas savings to pay for itself, and each time you mash the throttle the temptation is HUGE on a modded M3 , you'll be setting yourself back from your "break-even point".
By that time, you will have likely gone through at least one or two more clutches, setting yourself back again. M3's are not known for their "legendary" gas mileage, six speed conversions aside. That's what BMW made the E36 ti for. You could buy an extremely nice and fuel friendly E30 or E36 for the amount of money this conversion will likely cost you when all is said and done. But if you're doing it to try and get some more versatility out of your car, with a few MPG savings as a fringe benefit, AND if you don't mind tackling the expense and labor of doing this, I'd say go for it.
At any rate, I don't want to discourage you. I just want to make sure you have realistic expectations about what this conversion can and cannot do for you.
