Dear forum members,

I apologize for the awful German.
I'm from Israel and trying to help a friend of mine who owns a lovely BMW 735i E65. His vehicle requires a new gear. He prefers a new gear. Could you please refer us to a place we could order a new gear for the E65?

Thank you,
Alon

Hello Alon,

better write in English, the automatic translations are not very good.
A new transmission is terribly expensive. Usually a transmission comes remanufactured, even from BMW.
Reman transmissions are as good as new and are usually covered by the same warranty.
A cheaper solution would be a used one, but that is of course a bit more risky.

Hi Erich,

Thanks for the quick reply.
Pardon for the ignorance - what is "Reman transmissions"? Is it a company who deals with gears or a technical term?

Thanks again,
Alon

what is "Reman transmissions"?

Reman transmissions = remanufactured transmissions

Shalom,

since your friend would not have a chance to send the defective transmission back for transport cost etc. I would recommend to ask ZF in Dortmund who overhaul all ZF car transmission and are also the manufacturer of same.

The may be willing to sell an overhauled tx w/o getting the bad one back. Be aware however that the new transmission has to be programmed after installation. To my knowledge this can only be done by a BMW dealer. At my last visit to ZF about 18month ago they could not do it.

If you send some details p/n of the old transmission etc. I can give them a call. Send a U2U and I will find out.

Regards

BTW an overhauled or rather factory rebuilt tx is probably better than a new one.

Hello all,

Thank you for all the help. I really appreciate it.
ZF have local representatives here. From my experience, the manufacturer (ZF) will just forward my inquiry to the local representative because of the exclusivity of the locals.

At the moment my friend found a used gear from a local dealer. Sounds risky to me, however importing from Germany eventually turns out to be more expensive (shipping costs + 45% local taxes).

So I'll wait to see if the gear is in good condition or he'd still prefer importing from Germany.

Anyway thank you again for your kindness
Alon
