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.

Time marches on and so does the integrity and engineering at Beemer. BMW makes a superior car. Assuming you are reading this because you are collecting information on transmissions or you had a transmission failure, we appreciate your presence.

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.

BMW 760LI Transmissions for Sale

Most of the folks who reading this blog post probably own a BMW 760LI. Then, it’s my firm conviction that you are looking for A. Information about BMW 760LI transmissions, or B. have a need for a rebuilt BMW 760LI transmission for sale. When I use the plural in the past sentence I just want to be clear, I mean to say, we sell remanufactured engines, low mileage used transmissions and new/crate transmissions too.

The 760LI is a full sized luxury car introduced in 1977. Using a FR layout, F means front engine, R means rear drive. Thus, a conventional rear wheel drive, also called a longitudinal mounted engine and transmission combination, running north to south, with the axis of the car. However, it isn’t fair to call anything BMW makes conventional, if any auto maker can design the conventional out of a rear wheel drive setup, it’s BMW.

Having been through 5 generations, lets say a lot of transmission combinations were make available for said car. Suffice it to say, the first models of the 760 series cars; model E23 and E32 are a far cry from the super luxurious, hi performance modern 4 door car it is today, models F01/F02.

It is staggering to think that the 760LI uses an 8 speed automatic overdrive transmission now. The newest generation 760LI is an AWD vehicle as well. AWD is an acronym for all wheel drive, a more refined term for four wheel drive. It’s also a very refined system over your average 4×4 pickup truck.

BMW is one of the finest made cars in the world and their choice of transmissions is from the premium independent transmission manufacturing company in the world. ZF Transmission Company, also located in Germany. Expect the best performance and life from the fully computerized transmissions used by BMW nowadays.

The new model transmissions are far from the much simpler transmissions in the first generation [model E23]. We sell more transmissions for the early models than anyone else. Why? Because it is not that much more expensive to rebuild an early model transmission, than buying a used one, [if it is even available] for an early model E23/32. The cost is greatly diminished, when you consider the pure value built into the transmission and the fact that the cost will become negligible in the long run.

My suggestion is to call one of our trained salespeople and receive a free education on how to choose the best transmission for your BMW 760LI. Some transmissions ship for free and most are shipped within 24 hours. Call now, you deserve our world class service. GotTransmissions.com

BMW 525i Transmissions for Sale

Another car made by BMW that uses a series of numbers and letter/s as identification, as opposed to an actual name badge. The Series 5 BMW, version [E34] is my subject today, or the model 525i. All you need to supply is the year and your VIN, if you are searching for rebuilt BMW 525i transmissions for sale. The VIN [vehicle identification number] is on your registration and tells us everything about your car.

Note: Do not mistake this BMW [ BMW5/525i] for a BMW M3. Nor is it the BMW Z3 model of which I have discussed also.

The 525i was manufactured from 1986 to 1996, the entire length of time BMW made the Series 5 cars [E34]. Four transmission options were offered in total, 2 standards and 2 automatic overdrives were offered in the 525i in the US.

The 525i used two automatic transmissions, both made by ZF; a 4 speed and a 5 speed version. And two manual shift transmissions made by Getrag. Also in a 5 speed and a 6 speed version.

The fact that both cars used five and six speed gearboxes suggests it is relativity modern. This vehicle is a rear wheel drive. An ordinary, conventional design for the most part, except for the 100% independent rear suspension.

Technically the setup is called a longitudinally mounted driveline. What that means is the engine is in front, and the transmission is mounted to the engine. With the drive axle in the rear, a drive-shat is needed. Thus we have a north to south engine – differential setup.

Generally speaking it is not a mistake to purchase a Beemer 525i, that is a planned buy. Nobody arbitrarily buys a 525i, anymore than I bought my Harley Davidson’s arbitrarily. The word passion comes to mind when I talk about automotive purchases such as the ones mentioned above. FYI: I also own a beauty of a 1970 911 Porsche [P Car].

Do you think I make my personal decisions on transmissions or transmission replacements arbitrarily? Ha. Every transmission I have purchased has been a calculated purchase. I either know the people intimately, or do plenty of research before we do business. Nothing but the best will do for my beauties. Nothing but the best.

It’s my opinion that BMW 525i owners share the same feelings I do. If said owner needs a replacement transmission, that person enters the search wanting only the finest. Saving money is important to 525i owners too, but quality is their overall goal. We know, nothing is less expensive than quality, that is a lot of the reason we buy special cars like Bimmer 525i, or a P Car.

For your information, there is nothing arbitrary about the way GotTransmissions.com does business. Every automatic or manual transmission you choose from has been selected from the cream of the crop and is fully guaranteed to exceed your expectations, or more. What is more? More is our award winning customer service. More is we will ship or deliver within 24 hours. We offer More peace of mind and pure value with every BMW 525i rebuilt transmission for sale.

BMW M3 Transmissions for Sale

We already know the M3 is one of BMW Auto Company’s mid sized super performance luxury cars designed to compete with other high end manufacturers offering similar products. Having been in production since 1986 as the Model E30, we have learned to expect said owners of extremely high performance cars to demand; Remanufactured BMW M3 transmissions for sale, as the only viable replacement option for those in need.

The newest, most advanced transmission setup so far, is used in the M3 is called a double-clutch transmission, [DCT], a new technology called Drivelogic for the M3. A few of the manufacturers innovations:

Claimed to be the world’s first Double Clutch Gearbox brain stormed and developed for high-speed performance, shifting gears without interruption in power or traction. Gearshift management is performed through M-specific programming, including seven forward speeds or gear ratios, ensuring 100 percent uninterrupted acceleration.

Introduced at the same time with the BMW M3 Coupé, the BMW M3 Saloon, and the M3 Convertible. Drivelogic has eleven fully electronically computer controlled driving programs in the M mode, and five computerized shift programs in the automatic mode, with six shift programs in the manual mode.

Including ”Launch Control” for maximum acceleration from a dead stop, effectively improving transmission control in the automatic mode with 100 percent pure sequential gear selection in the manual mode.

BMW Z3 Transmissions for Sale

For BMW Z3 owners only. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard equipment, with a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission optional. Compared to eleven engine options, this seems like a piece of cake. GotTransmissions.com has BMW Z3 Transmissions for Sale, automatic and manual shift, rebuilt, used and crate.

One model 5 speed standard shift transmission was offered in a variety of gear ratios? Every variation in gear ratio was designed to be an exact fit for a particular combination of engine, rear differential ratios, tire size, etc. Of the 5 Speed manual transmissions that fit the Z3, there were about 20 different manufacturing codes.

Steptronic is the trade-name of the automatic transmission BMW uses. Essentially it has a variety of computer programs the transmission can choose from depending on driving conditions. It has a torque converter. It just has a manual mode that allows you to take over the shifting [although it will still override you if you try and do something that would damage the transmission].

This is far from a technical explanation, but the Steptronic is basically an automatic overdrive transmission with two modes. In “D”rive, it acts like a normal automatic with programmed shift points. After you move the shifter to the right, it acts like a manual valve-body; you select the shift points manually by pulling back on the shift lever to go to a higher gear, and push it forward to go to a lower gear.

Steptronic transmissions do not use a clutch pedal or gated gear selector[as in a manual] in the car. It can be operated in an ‘automatic’ mode, but can be manually shifted.

Many people like it, racing automatics are not out of the question anymore. To me, however, the idea of a manual trans is more than selecting what gear I want. It’s the total driving involvement including the clutch and gear selector. As in my vintage 1970 Porsche.

The bottom line with this particular car is to deal with qualified professionals who can deliver exactly what you need the first time. Not just any, ordinary transmission supply company can meet the demands of a BMW Z3 owner in need of a replacement transmission.
