Can a Getrag 280/6 be directly swapped into an 88 M6? How about a 88 635CSi? Where is the best place to source one?

About the only place to get one is from a European parts dealer or a wrecked 1995 M5, which are usually only in Europe anyway. Either way, you are talking about ~6-8k USD.

I will sell you a brand new one for $3,600.00 plus shipping.

Yep, the 6 speed for a 95 m5

Oh man now that is tempting. I'd have the only 6 speed CS. :D It is a factory reman, you say?

Thanks for the offer, but I am still in the planning phase attempting to figure out what all is needed to do a swap in a late E24.

It is not a reman but brand new from bmw, still in the box, never been installed in a car ever.

Oh shtick! Now that is very, very tempting. Whereabouts in north AL is it? I could probably come and pick it up.

there will be core involved on that 6 speed, plus you will have to run a different ignition/fuel system due to no pick ups (if you are running fuel injection that uses that pickup)
