They work on the E30 M42 but the E36 94+ has the stupid air shroud injectors.

So I don't know.
I think that I have to replace my clutch in the near future (halfway the stroke it engages, but without any feel)
but the otherday i found somebody who sells rebuilded bmw engines/gearboxxes..
He also has some M3 gearboxes in stock...
The M3 3.2 6speed is, includind 1 extra gear, a fraction shorter...which should improve acceleration
here's a ratio comparison
M3:
1 - 4.23
2 - 2.51
3 - 1.67
4 - 1.23
5 - 1.00
6 - 0.83
weight = ??
here for the M42:
1 - 3.72
2 - 2.02
3 - 1.32
4 - 1.00
5 - 0.81
Weight = ??
Not totally sure about the ratios, could not find official bmw info yet..
A shorter gearbox (and with 1 gear more) would be handy, since I live at the foot of the italian alps ;-)
now i you might guess my question... would a M3 gearbox fit to an M42?
