So I was working on my transmission today (ZF 320Z from a 98' 328), and I wanted to mate the driveshaft that I got from a 1992 525i Manual with a build date of 09/1992 but it had a Getrag trans. Well I couldn't mate the driveshaft to the trans because the output flange is a lot bigger on the transmission than the driveshaft. So I got onto RealOEM and verified the parts numbers between the 98' 328i, 92' 525i with a ZF, and a 92' 525i with a Getrag. The part numbers for the flange are the same between the 3 cars.
So what is going on here? Anyone else run into this issue? The driveshaft part numbers for the E34 are the same between the ZF and Getrag.
Edit: It actually appears that the Getrag has a different part number for the flange.
