Autotransmission type
Hey fellows
Can anyone tell me what type of transmission does my 1993 320i auto transmission has? is it a ZF 4hp22 or 4l30e transmission or something else? I am pretty sure it is a five speed transmission...thanks

I believe any of two or three different automatic transmissions were used, but how they were distributed throughout the production run I have no idea. You might have some luck by taking the VIN to a dealer or checking realoem.com/bmw online. If no luck there, I think you can find out which one you have by getting under the car and checking the side of the transmission case, the identifier might be stamped there. |

Also, (it's been a while since I was in the auto trans class) I believe the first number indicates the number of gears the tranny has. 4=4speed, you may however feel what seems like 5th but that would be the torque converter clutch lock up, done for economy purposes.

Put the last 7 digits of your VIN into this http://www.bmw-z1.com/VIN/VINdecode-e.cgi and it will decode it for you and tell you the transmission type. |
