BMW 550i GT Transmissions for Sale

It is hard for me to believe that there are people who own BMW 550i GT Models who need replacement transmissions. I say this since the 550iGT was introduced in 2009. While this may be an unusual circumstance, it exists in small quantities. When we, [GotTransmissions.com] encounter someone who drives for a living and racks up unreal mileage, there is good news, we may be one of the only transmission supply companies with BMW 550i GT Transmissions for Sale.

Other occurrences can lead to an early, or premature transmission failure. Such as a transmission leak. Transmission leaks are not necessarily sensitive to the age of a car. So, make sure you look under your BMW, or any type of car [for that matter] you drive on occasion to see if it has left it’s mark, so to speak, in transmission fluid. It’s also advisable to have the transmission fluid checked by a qualified professional every month, or if you think something is not working properly.

Having said that maintenance is important is one thing. Now lets speak about the 8 speed automatic overdrive transmission used in said car. It’s only fair to mention all automatic transmissions use a torque converter [instead of a clutch as in a manual transmission] with a lock up clutch in it, thus giving the effect of 9 forward speeds. It blows my mind and I have been a transmission man for over 30 years.

Using the ZF 8HP eight speed transmission designed by ZF Corporation in Germany, it is for rear wheel drive cars only. Often called a F/R layout, or longitudinal mounting system. Essentially it is a front engine, rear wheel drive vehicle, using a driveshaft to connect the transmission to the rear differential. Although there is nothing ordinary about a BMW setup.

BMW M5 Transmissions for Sale: E28, E34, E39, E60


Want to know a tiny piece of trivia most car buffs don’t know? The BMW M5 series, manufactured from 1989 to present times never offered an automatic transmission in the lineup? Wild, eh? Having been in the transmission rebuilding business for 30 plus years, I might be the only person alive to know that piece of trivia. GotTransmissions.com has BMW M5 transmissions for sale. Ready to ship ASAP. Nothing trivial about that.

Here we go:

All BMW model E28 [1985-1989] came equipped with a 5 speed standard transmission.

All BMW E39 [1998-2005] M5s were equipped with a Getrag Type D six-speed manual transmission

All BWM model E60 [2005-current] are equipped with a 7 speed SMG [sequential manual gearbox], or a conventional 6 speed manual transmission.

The E60 models use several features inspired by F1 racing. Particularly the transmission controls. One such feature is called Launch control, The other feature is Dynamic stability control, giving the driver the option of changing to either automated or manual shifting [there are 11 shift programs are formatted for Drivelogic shifting commands].

FYI: F1 racing is a form of Indy car racing. Most people are familiar with the Indianapolis 500 car race. That is the type of car BMW derived the current Drivelogic transmission control system from.

It is clear that the M5 cars were designed to be comfortable, roomy and extraordinarily fast. Matching the correct transmission to each car is a result of factoring in a combination of engine power, car weight, rear axle ratio and tire size. The engineers at BMW decided to equip these cars with manual shift transmissions designed to shift smooth, take a beating and last a long time.

BMW 745LI Transmissions for Sale

Looking for information on BMW 745LI Transmissions for Sale? For example, the 2005 745li came with a six-speed StepTronic overdrive transmission with a lock up torque converter. According to BMW, the StepTronic transmission is an automatic transmission designed to allow the driver to shift the transmission manually. The function is as easy as moving the gear selector lever sideways to enable StepTronic mode and then forward or backwards to up-shift or downshift through the gears.

The 6HP26Z transmission was used in BMW models e65, e66, e63, e60, 645i, 745i. It was the first six speed automatic transmission in a standard production car. The ZF 6HP26 uses a Lepelletier epicyclic/planetary gearset, which can provide more gear ratios with fewer components.

Note: Epicyclic gearing, AKA planetary gearing is a gear system used in most automatic transmissions, consisting of one or more outer [ring] gears, revolving about an internal central gear, or sun gear.

This means the ZF 6HP26 has the ability to command torque converter lock-up on all six forward gears, and release them completely when at a standstill, allowing closer fuel efficiency between automatic and manual transmissions.

It is important to note that the 745 is a rear wheel drive car. Also called a FR layout; front engine/rear wheel drive. Because BMW makes the car, it is anything but a conventional rear wheel drive setup. The original 745LI used a three or 4 speed automatic transmission, or a 4 speed or 5 speed manual transmission.

BMW 840ci Transmissions for Sale

One of the finest cars BMW made was their Series 8 lineup. Today we speak on the 840ci and BMW 840ci Transmissions for Sale, offered by GotTransmissions.com. The Series 8 was made from 1989 to 1999. Using a typical FR [front engine-rear wheel drive] layout, this car has a chassis code E31, which is nice to know if you are looking for a transmission.

The 840ci was available with a 5-speed automatic transmission, although European models were outfitted with a 6-speed manual transmission. The 840ci [V8] U.S. models were equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission.

The transmission used is made by ZF Corporation. A brief description of operation;
A Computer-Controlled Continuously Variable Lockup Torque Converter is standard.
The Computer-Controlled TCM [transmission control module] sends signals from various input and output sensors to the Engine Management System which in turn powers the Long Ratio transmission, which uses a driver-Selectable sporty shifter.

Having rebuilt plenty of BMW 840ci transmissions during my 30 plus year career as a transmission shop owner/rebuilder, suffice it to say not any rebuilder has the competence to deal with such a sensitive and precision transmission.

My assumption is that you are reading this for, information, or you need a replacement transmission for a 840ci. Our best sellers are the rebuilt transmission lineup. I can tell you that BMW owners are selective about the products they use or buy. It is not an ordinary car.

Knowing this, the amount of detail and precision engineered into each component requires; A. the best rebuild parts available. We buy our rebuild kits and automatic transmission fluid from the dealer. BMW engineered the car, and I don’t see any reason to arbitrarily modify it. B. Intelligent, competent transmission rebuilders.

Lets put it this way. For the same price, would you choose a surgeon with poor credentials, or a surgeon with top credentials?

Well, not every transmission is rebuilt the same way. Some companies actually use low grade cheap parts with the hope of just making it out of warranty, for the same price we charge for a properly rebuilt transmission with a rebuilt torque converter.

My hope for those who need a replacement transmission for their BMW 840ci is to call GotTransmissions.com and enjoy the peace of mind built into our transmissions. You will feel the pure value the first time it shifts. Call now and speak with a qualified, trained transmission professional.
