Complete 6-speed Manual Transmission Conversion for a 97-03 E39 Bmw 540i

These parts are from a '99 and appear to be in absolutely PERFECT condition.

TRANSMISSION

The transmission (Getrag 6S6 420G) is incredibly clean and has no broken sensors, cracks or damage to the case. Comes with shifter linkage and stick.  There is no shift knob, but I am sure you would want to replace it anyway.  The “Guibo” looks great and appears to have been replaced since it left the factory.  The rubber mounts for the cross-member appear to also have been recently replaced.  The cross-member looks great, although a little dirty.

DRIVESHAFT

Drive shaft appears to be in perfect condition except for the center support bearing.  These are tough to install used and it is best to replace it anytime you are unsure of how old it is.  The U-joints are in perfect shape without any “flat spots”.  The CV joint at the rear should be serviced and this includes replacing the boot.

FLYWHEEL, CLUTCH DISK & PRESSURE PLATE

These appear to have been replaced recently.  I have never seen a nicer flywheel on a 540i.  I ran my fingernail along the surface of the flywheel and it is smooth.  It has just a hint of coloration and no “bluing” or heat build up on it.  The clutch disk looks barely used.  Judge for yourself in the photos.  The pressure plate looks great.

PEDALS AND CLUTCH HYDRAULICS

Pedal assembly is complete with switches, clutch master cylinder and pedal pads. This also comes with all clutch hydraulics.  The metal and rubber line from the master cylinder to the clutch slave cylinder is included, although it looks a little worn.  The outside fabric is coming away from the braided clutch line.  This is an expensive part and I think you could risk using it.  The clutch slave cylinder looks good and is included.  The reservoir for the clutch hydraulics is the same as the ones on the automatic equipped 540i, one cuts a nipple to fit the blue hose to feet the clutch master cylinder.

SHIPPING

Free domestic shipping by Fedex Ground to any address in the lower 48 states.  Alaska, Hawaii extra.  A lot extra.  This kit is heavy and I will incur substantial charges for shipping.  I will be shipping the flywheel/clutch separately.

I am willing to ship this internationally via any freight forwarder located in the Orange County, California or Los Angeles County area.  For example, I recently delivered one kit to a freight forwarder in Carson, California for shipment by boat to New Zealand.  Another went to a forwarder in downtown Los Angeles for shipment to the Caribbean.    I will deliver the boxed items free to any freight forwarder within 25 miles of zip code 92626.  I will refund $200.00 to any international customer who elects to hire their own shipper.

Comes with brake master cylinder and reservior as well. You will need a new rubber hose from reservior to clutch master cylinder (cheap for a new one). Aside from small wiring changes, this is everything you will need to convert an automatic 97-03 BMW 540i to a 6-speed manual transmission. Pictures are of the actual parts you will receive.

Please examine the photos carefully, they are part of the description of this listing.  If you require any additional photos, please do not delay as I will be boxing this item up soon. 

This item can be picked up locally and I will deliver it free to any business address within 50 miles of 92626 with a refund of $200.00.

By James Mann and Tim Pollard Motor Shows 13 July 2008 23:01 SUNDAY, DAY 3: LIVE NEWS FROM THE GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED. The 2008 Goodwood Festival of Speed rounded off with an epic Sunday with a jaw-dropping procession of supercars, historic race cars, an appearance by current F1 leader Lewis Hamilton and a series of historical curios and crashes to keep spectators on their toes. Sunday's highlight was the much-hyped appearance of McLaren F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.
