 Are there shims for this that we could put on before the flange?

Not as far as I know.

 Are there 3 bolt flanges of different depths?  

Probably, The 245 and 240 output flanges have different PNs

I had a similar problem with a 3 bolt flange on a 245 /5 where it sat too deep and bolts were making contact with the trans housing or something. I replaced the 3 bolt flange with another similar one. I think there may be different sizes as far as dept. I have one laying around in my garage from a 245 / 5. I’ll measure it’s collar.

Appreciate that.  I feel that has to be the answer, though I note the diagrams I have seen in RealOEM for the 245/2/4 all show a very shallow collared flange like mine. See part no. 7 on the attached: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=1733-USA-02-1982-E21-BMW-320i&diagId=23_0700

FAQer Bill Hayes was nice enough to fly me up to VA for a transmission swap last week.

 

That is, we loaded my suspect 245 into the cargo compartment of his Twin Comanche and returned with a known good 245.

 

... With the wrong flange.

 

Chris is supposed to be mailing my old flange back to me.

Stop reading this! Don't you have anything better to do?? :P

I have a 245 sitting on a shelf, I can measure depth also if needed.

Xavier, good to hear from you.  If I don’t get Zouave back on the road we’ll never fun the coast roads around here together.  It would be great if you can take that flange to cover measurement.

Hopefully we can make that drive happen!

 

I'll measure after work today, as I am no longer in the privileged few who work from home.

Look at the bright side: your commute supports the gasoline economy that makes our shared habit possible.?

I have been doing more homework, and I note (based on this faq post:) that there are at least two part numbers for the 3 bolt flange for a 320i 245/2/4. They are: 
 
23211224091
23211209612
 
So far these are just hits in RealOem.  In the RealOem diagrams they look identical.  Bc I was searching by part number (based on a faq post) I am not sure why I get the two different descriptions for what appears to be the same transmission.  But I know build years and even production runs may have been different.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
