The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[ELCID86]

Is the manual transmission for ZHPs the ZF GS6-37BZ (part no. 23007532498)?

I thought there were at least two. GM? I'm sure someone here will correct me.

The auto was GM. Same one made its way into the X3 also. It seems like people don't have the same hatred with it in RWD like they do with AWD.

I think the autos came in two flavors - GM and ZF. The ZF ones were notorious for the "no reverse" issues.

so now that my swap is done and my odometer is back to where its suppsoed to be.. I went ahead and scheduled my driver and passenger side airbag recall at the local dealer. they have the parts in stock so next wednsday ill go for 2 hours they said and it will be done.

i'm curious how that will go down with the swap lol.

i have a feeling they will try to say its not covered due to the swap or M3 cluster change out or that even though i retained my original airbags.. i modified my steering wheel by getting it custom wrapped.


it will be interesting

Keep us posted. BMW Canada gave me a hard time with my driver's side airbag recall.

I think you should be fine, as long as the airbag replacement fits in your wheel. Though watch out for them scratching up your lower plastic trim.

I don't know how anyone can screw that up. It honestly takes 30 seconds to swap the airbag and at no point should anything come near the trim.

Yes. And yes!
