About to do a transmission swap on an R50 Cooper,in the process of securing parts.Looking for a 07/05 or later build MT 6 speed tranny,i have part#23007574849 or23007574848 this one has the LSD installed am i correct???

 

According to realoem.com the "848" is the one with the LSD...
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...14&hg=23&fg=05
...I don't work today...so I can't confirm it, but realoem is usually pretty accurate.

 

Thanks Partsman,returning the tranny is not an option for me so i have to get all the ducks in a row.This is quite confusing but i'm satisfied i have the right #'s for the 07/04 box and beyond according to realoem.Here's some more fun i see a cooper S box listed on Ebay under 5000 miles theres photos one has the plate on the housing with 2300150429507 running a part # search on realoen says it dont exist,this gets more confusing by the minit.Partsman see if you can confirm the #'s for me,i'm not really keen on shipping wrong box overseas,Disaster

 

Make sure the label prefix says BKE or BKL(lsd diff). NOT BKD(pre facelift).

The part number you posted...23 00 1 504 295 seems to be a good number for a 6-speed, but it doesn't go in my ETK so I can get more info.
It also appears to be a new unit, as there is no core charge.

The "849" is the remanufactured, later gearbox with the lower gears(higher numerically) without LSD...
The "848" is the same gearbox, also remanufactured with LSD.

 

Partsman i'm still confused,this afternoon a breakers yard gave me a vin#TD99298 this leads me right to my part#23007574849 or 23007574848 = LSD on realoem.com,then emails me with a part#23007568718 taken from the box,that part# dont exist on realoem,thats the second breaker that has pulled non exsistant # claiming the car to be 05-06,all i'm trying to do is get the vin and part# to correspond before shipping overseas WTF.Those two part # i have are for a 07/04-11/06 build Getrag 6 speed the correct box for a cooper swap.Yes i have passed on the BKE and BKL info,this aint easy.

 

I never posted part#23001504295 dont know where you got that from

 

Got it from here...

 

My fault you did'nt post the complete #.I'm at a loss with this darn thing

 

I did post the complete number...BMW/MINI part numbers are only 11 digits long.

 

Lets forget about who posted what sorry you are of a big help to me,looked at that photo again and it has a BKD so it's the wrong one ,what i'm reading into your post is the two Part# i have are correct but remanufactured trannys and therefore not likley to be found in vehicles unless they had a replacement tranny?therefore the part# of the original gearbox might not correspond???

 

This VIN number is from a MCS with a production date of 2/2005...and has a 6-speed with LSD.

 

Right.
The part number on the original gear box in the car will have a different part number than the reman one.

 

all the part numbers listed in this thread EXCEPT for the 848 # are all NONE LSD units.

Thanks for posting, man. I hope things are going good with you.

 

everything is good. baby #1 is on the way mid july and we'll know the sex this saturday at the sonogram so im excited about that as well as scared im going to be someones father. hahah. well lemme say...ONLY baby is on the way. lol

i bet you guys got hit just as bad as we did monday with the snow , huh

 

Yea, we took a good hammerin' from the snow...and I tell ya, I have had enough already! Good thing I have an Explorer to drive, so I don't have to take the MINI out.

Congrats on the baby!
My little man will be 2 in April...he's gonna be beating up his brother soon and he's 7.

 

Snow whats that i live in Barbados,girls always in bikinis even in the winter lol.Hey guys thanks for sorting that out i owe beer for shure.Would be fairly stupid shipping wrong box down here.Thanks Peter

 

Go ahead, just rub it in...
I'll pass on the beer...but i'll take one of them bikini girls.

 

I'll Fed EX one up,think i'm goona dive in on this if it's got a LSD,car's been hit on top of bonnet into windscreen engine bay is fine so i can nail the axels starter and most of the other stuff in one pop.Just wating to confirm it's got a BKL on it maybe that stands for Bikini Klad and Loose this has been like Peter Falk's BARETTA.

 

x2 on the bikini girls.

you mail one up here and ill mail you some snow.

 

Take a vacation it's sunny 90,women everywhere skinny fat ugly georgeous gold diggers ***** the lot.Around here everything revolves around the beach and a party man.Married no way Miss March arrives in a weekRoads are twisty Mini land.

 

Just when i thought we had it all figured out,with some curoisity i went to the local dealer and had them run the vin#Friday.BMW claims this car to be built in 12/03 and Realoem claims it to be 02/05.I cant make this purchase until we get to the bottom of this confusion.

 

Ask them to remove flywheel housing and count the teeth on the crown wheel gear if you're worried. 89 teeth is a facelift and 85 teeth is pre-facelift. BKE and/or BKL would indicate it's got a LSD. If they pop the cover they'll be able to see if it's an open diff or a lsd too.

I am i total agreement with you guys about the correct part# and model BKE - BKL for 02/05.But where the hell does BMW Barbados come up with 12/03 build,i have a copy of this printout.Terry the workshop manager says it could be because of different region.Partsman could you please run that vin when u get a chance if you hav'nt already done so.They are putting the car on the hoist tomorrow to see if theres a BKE - BKL.Thanks Peter
