    Difference between Getrag 260 and 280 ?

    Hello,

    i ordered from BMW the bolts to set a Getrag 260 gearbox on my m30b35 but i didn't notice on the first line there was written "Getrag 280" : https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=23_0490


    I thinks it's okay because the bolts fits but i wanted a confirmation and my BMW dealer can't tell me, dunno why.

    Would it be the same bolts ?

    Thank.

    From what I recall, the bolts should be the same between G260/280 boxes. The block of the S38 & M30 are essentially the same. I wouldn't think BMW would change the pitch/threads/length of the bolts between the two. These gearboxes are swappable while retaining the bolts is what I remember.

    Never hurts to give it a try!
