Hey all,
I’m in the process of sourcing a transmission for a tranny swap on my 09 335i xdrive with the aid of realoem. I put my VIN into realoem and according to realoem (pic) the manual transmission that is a direct replacement is a GS6x53DZ. This has me a bit confused because I thought it would be “GS6x53BZ” not “D” as it is a gasoline engine. I just want to make sure before I pick up a used tranny and find out it won’t fit. The GS6x53BZ also seems a lot easier to find online so I’m hoping that’d be an option following realoem part numbers. Am I missing something here?

I personally would look at the little green plate on the transmission and it have the right model number which can start with a ZF or a GM number

He's looking at a manual transmission not auto. There's no GM manual trans for E90
