318I Chain E36 OLD 528I (M)

Tovesageneral Motors prepares every used gearbox to the same standard, and this 318I Chain E36 OLD 528I (M) is no exception: pulled from a running donor vehicle, drained, inspected for wear on the housing and gear train, and function-tested for shift quality before it is offered as a manual transmission replacement unit.

Key Specifications: Every internal component and the housing itself are the original factory design for this BMW application, no reproduction parts. Transmission type: Manual. Because the 318I Chain E36 OLD 528I (M) was fitted across multiple trims, the precise gear count can differ; our team can verify it against your VIN ahead of shipping if you are unsure. Compatible engine(s): 318I engine variants. Drive configuration (front-, rear-, or four-wheel drive) depends on which 318I Chain E36 OLD 528I (M) variant you are running, so please confirm your chassis's drivetrain before ordering.

Performance Characteristics: As a manual unit, it hands full gear-selection control to the driver and carries fewer electronic and hydraulic failure points than an automatic, which tends to make long-term maintenance simpler and repair costs lower when something eventually does wear.

Common Applications: Expect this unit to fit BMW vehicles that were factory-paired with the 318I driveline described above. Because the same casting is often reused across multiple model years with small internal or electronic revisions, we recommend confirming the exact spline count and control variant against your vehicle, or simply sending your VIN so our team can verify fitment ahead of time.
