Yah, that's the beast.  We never got them, no way, no how...

 

I can't imagine shipping would be anything other than brutal, either way...

Freight from US to Aust, Air ,for a gearbox $500.That was last year .

Give Peninsula BMW Mornington Victoria a ring for a gearbox.

[Mr Sizzle]

thanks Tim will give them a go!
500$ just for shipping is a lot of money then again 800 total for a trans seems cheap from what I have been quoted so far!
