WTB: 1981/1982 Getrag 265 Bellhousing from a 528e

Good day to you all !

To help out a friend who is building a E30 engine which will have some more 'German Horsepower', we are looking for a '81/'82 Bellhousing from a 528e, so a stronger Getrag gearbox can be placed.

We know that this Bellhousing was not produced in large quantities (and only on the 528e ?), but perhaps someone has and/or knows one for sale ?

Thanks in advance and greetings from Holland !

Unfortunately I don't have a 265 bellhousing but I am wondering how much power you are going to require of your transmission? The 260 has been very durable for me, 400 rear wheel HP and ft-lbs were no problem for me and I'm sure it'll handle more.

Thanks Turbodan !

Well my friends has a specific setup in mind for his Beemer with a E30 M3 Getrag transmission (5-speed), but there are indeed more options which can be used.
