Hi James!

I don't have any list of parts and wiring schemes.

I would suggest you to get the G6S gearbox from facelifted diesel X5 and re-weld the standard housings to make them fit to the eingine and TC - in my eyes thats the easiest way to go. The rear shaft, which is entering the TC will be either made customly or you're gonna use the newer TC (NV500 I suppose) - it will fit to the body perfectly.

Unfortunately I can't give you much support due the other projects I'm currently involved in.

Regards,

Nick

We don't have diesel face lifted X5's here in the US, so that'd be pretty hard to source. If that's what it takes overall to make it easier and less fabrication, I'll look into it. Everything else is way beyond my means. I know you've done this swap so you have an idea on your head, but I'm sure the rest of us don't.

The X5 runs fine at the moment so I'm in no rush, but at the same time I'd like to do it on the future, maybe when you've got more time to help.
