Hi!

I have a workshop in Munich, Germany, but the manufacturing costs for the rear gearbox housing are higher, than the actual value of 4.6is - the only way to produce them in some numbers, is to have a least 6-7 X5 owners rady to make a prepayment in some xxxx amounts, which will make that lucrative.

Otherwise there's an allready mentioned option to reweld the housings of very stable G6S tranny of facelifted diesel X5.

But I very very doubt this conversion will bring a single $ due to the low prices of the E53.
