Typical BMW gearboxes
BMW has relied on ZF automatic gearboxes for many years: the 6-speed 6HP series (6HP19, 6HP21, 6HP26 – E87, E90, E60, X5 E70) and from 2011 the 8-speed 8HP series (8HP45, 8HP50, 8HP70; suffix Z for rear-wheel drive, X for xDrive – F20, F30, G30, X3, X5). We also stock Getrag manual gearboxes (GS6-17, GS6-53) and xDrive transfer cases. BMW labels the automatic GA8HP45Z, ZF calls it 8HP45 – both mean the same gearbox. The code is on the type plate on the housing; check the suffix and part number, as the software is vehicle-specific. Guide: ZF 8HP gearbox.
Used, reconditioned or new?
For used BMW gearboxes we state mileage and year where known; every gearbox is tested before dispatch and comes with a 12-month warranty. Reconditioned gearboxes have been professionally overhauled and tested – also 12 months. New gearboxes carry a 24-month warranty. On gearboxes we charge a core deposit of usually €250, refunded when your old gearbox is returned – see Core deposit explained.
How to find the right BMW gearbox
The gearbox code (e.g. GA8HP45Z or GS6-53DZ) is on the type plate on the housing; ZF calls the same gearbox 8HP45. Compare the code with the one in our product title – or send us your VIN and we will check which gearbox fits. For DSG and automatic gearboxes see also DSG gearbox problems.
Frequently asked questions about BMW gearboxes
How much does a BMW replacement gearbox cost?
The price is shown on each gearbox and depends on type, mileage and condition. A core deposit (usually €250) is added and refunded once we receive your old gearbox.
Will the gearbox fit my car?
If the gearbox code or part number matches, yes – the code defines ratios, control unit and connections. If in doubt, send us your VIN and we will check which BMW gearbox fits.
Does an automatic or DSG gearbox need to be coded?
Yes. After fitting a dual-clutch or automatic gearbox the workshop has to adapt the control unit to the vehicle (adaptation / basic setting). Allow for this when planning the swap.
What warranty do BMW gearboxes come with?
12 months on used and reconditioned gearboxes, 24 months on new ones – no mileage limit, provided the gearbox is fitted professionally by a workshop. Shipped securely packed by freight carrier, or collected in Nortmoor by arrangement.
