That's a different trans than the M3, less durable I think...

It's an entirely different transmission - ZHP 6-speed is made by ZF, M3 6-speed is made by Getrag. The ZF is a much newer design (M3 transmission dates back to the late 80s/early 90s), and generally shifts better IMO (very apparent when driving it back to back). Z4M uses a variant of the ZHP's transmission, so even if it can't handle as much torque as the Getrag, it should be able to handle an S54 just fine.

Challenges come from the 330 version of the transmission having a shorter input shaft, requiring the pilot bearing to be built into the flywheel itself. One can bolt up a 330 fly wheel to the S54, but I don't know if it's well matched to that engine. Z4M version of the transmission has a long input shaft and can be used with a standard pilot bearing in the crank.

Did Leather Rejuvinator on the ZHP and the E36. The bucket was after doing just the passenger seat. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...3da18b45e0.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...8c7bcff981.jpg
