BMW 318I E46 E36 - 5 Speed (Unit EGD-0338)

The BMW 318I E46 E36 - 5 Speed is an automatic transmission supplied by Tovesageneral Motors as a tested, used unit pulled from a running donor vehicle rather than sourced blind. Before it is listed, we drain the fluid, inspect the housing and internals for wear or damage, and function-test shift quality wherever the unit allows it, so you are buying a known-condition transmission instead of gambling on an unlabeled yard pull.

Key Specifications: Every internal component and the housing itself are the original factory design for this BMW application, no reproduction parts. Transmission type: Manual or Automatic (verify variant at time of purchase). Gear count: 5 forward. Compatible engine(s): 318I engine variants. The BMW 318I E46 E36 - 5 Speed 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 smooth shifting on an automatic depends heavily on fluid condition and solenoid/valve body health, we still recommend a fluid and filter change at installation, even on a unit that has already passed our bench test.

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.
