Anyone got a BMW E36 haynes that covers diesel models?

Could you tell me what the gear ratios are for the diesel models please?

Thanks

 

auto or manual?

 

Manual please

 

OK I need the gearbox number or the car's chassis number - there are options of both manufacture of the box and then 2 types of boxes for each manufacture!

 

If you have a Gatrag there are 2 types

240/5
1st 3.717:1
2nd 2.019:1
3rd 1.316:1
4th 0.804:1
rev 3.445:1

260/5
1st 3.829:1
2nd 2.199:1
3rd 1.401:1
4th 1:1
5th 0.809:1
rev 3.456:1

ZF type

1st 3.716:1
2nd 2.037:1
3rd 1.340:1
4th 1:1
5th 0.819:1
rev 3.543:1


but why do you want to know

 

cheers, dont have the car, but wondered what the ratios were like because I want to run a petrol turbo engine in a light car with a 4.1:1 diff.

sadly the second two boxes are near on ideantical to the petrols, so they must simply fit a different diff to the diesel motors. the first one only has 4 speeds

shame mazda build gearboxes with stupid ratios
