328I DBL Vanos (M)

Sourced from a running donor vehicle and inspected before listing, this 328I DBL Vanos (M) is a manual transmission prepared by Tovesageneral Motors for reliable service in a replacement application. We check fluid condition, internal wear, and shift behavior on every unit we can bench-test, so the history and condition are documented rather than unknown.

Key Specifications: We keep the internals to factory spec rather than substituting aftermarket parts, so ratios and housing dimensions match what originally shipped in the BMW. Transmission type: Manual. Gear count varies by production year and market for the 328I DBL Vanos (M); check the tag on the housing or send us your VIN and we will confirm before you order. Compatible engine(s): 328I engine variants. The 328I DBL Vanos (M) was offered across more than one drivetrain layout, so double-check whether your chassis is front-, rear-, or four-wheel drive before you place the order.

Performance Characteristics: Because it is a manual unit, wear items are largely mechanical (synchros, bearings, the clutch itself) rather than electronic, so diagnosis tends to be more straightforward and a competent transmission shop can usually service it without specialized diagnostic tools.

Common Applications: This transmission is matched to BMW vehicles built around the 328I driveline noted above. Because gearboxes are frequently shared or lightly modified across several body styles and model years, confirm the bellhousing bolt pattern, input shaft spline count, and electronic or hydraulic control variant against your own vehicle before ordering. Send us your VIN and we will double-check fitment before your order ships.
