Missing 2 transmission bolts
I am missing the 2 automatic transmission bolts that also hold in the bracket that secures the stock inlets. They are about 3 inches long and aluminum. The only bolts i can find online are the smaller bolts, but i don't need those. Can anyone help me out?

Nope the bolts were very long with threads down the length of the bolt. The part you listed i bought and realized they're tiny compared to the bolts i need. This is on the right side of the transmission. Ive bought 2 separate sets of bolts that say they fit and they don't.

All the bolts and combinations of them for your year model is listed here
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=24_1072 Why do you think they are aluminum bolts? You have 355 right? Then your engine block is not magnesium so it doesn't need nor would be using aluminum bolts, |

When I bought an oil pan gasket kit it came with extra bolts. These were very long bolts and didn't match anything I removed from the car (manual transmission). I still have these kicking around my garage somewhere.

The issue I'm seeing is that #2 on the diagram shows the proper position for the bolt i need (far side of the diagram), but the attached photo on the website shows what looks like the shorter bolt. Should i buy that oil pan bolt set and see what fits?

I have a extra oil pan bolt set I can sell . I do remember when I did my oil pan gasket, I replaced all the bolts holding the oil pan and 2 longer bolts were left that had no place to get screwed into. So those might be the ones you are looking for

This is where the bolts go. There not small. Most diagrams on sites are selling the wrong bolts. I know because I've bought 2 sets already. If you think they're oil pan bolts, then ill buy yours.

The #2 bolt is 75 mm (3 inches) M12x75. #1 is 50 mm M12x50. Then there is #3 and #6. You probably need #2 bolt: 02 Torx bolt M12X75 5 23001222893 I would go to nearest BMW dealer's parts department. Ask the guy about what you need, show him or let him show the parts diagram from computer. They will have more information from experience, and will most likely have the bolt on the spot for you to buy. My guess, just a guess, from factory they put aluminum bolts, that are also used on N52's too. Later on they changed them to steel bolts as parts on the parts list. Another thing I noticed, if a bolt or bolt set is shared between N52 and N54/55, they didn't issue a different bolt set for each. They go with the common material which is aluminum to use only one set, like the alternator bolt set, or the oil pan bolt set. The N54 "short engine block" lists to uses the same aluminum transmission bolt set as the N52, but the transmission on N54 lists to be using these what appear steel bolts listed on that link for transmission. So maybe on the factory floor they used one set of transmission bolts for both engines, that is my guess. But when selling separately they sell steel ones for aluminum blocks, and aluminum ones for magnesium block engines. |

If you really want to go with aluminum bolts, this may get you what you want, from the link :
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=11_4445 Set alu. screws automatic transmission 1 24000392608 See this set is used across N52 and N54: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/part...08&series=E90N But this set is mentioned in both transmission part area and engine block area as part for N52, but only in engine block area as part in N54. That is why I suspect at factory floor they use same aluminum bolt set for transmission for N52 and N54. But N54 can and looks like is using better steel bolts there. Again a parts department guy at BMW dealership will know better. |

Here is some more information, from this link:
https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e...eneral/4FnUBYA Important! For vehicles with N54/N55 engine up to production date 09/2012, aluminium bolts for the for the securing of the transmission are also installed. As of production date 09/2012, only steel bolts are installed for the securing of the transmission. Note: Aluminium screws/bolts must be replaced each time they are released. Aluminium screws/bolts are permitted with and without colour coding (blue). For reliable identification: Aluminium screws/bolts are not magnetic. Jointing torque and angle of rotation must be observed without fail (risk of damage). The aluminium bolts can be optionally replaced by steel bolts. ... Release screws. Installation note: Observe screw fastening sequence without fail. Tightening torque, steel screws 24 00 1AZ. Aluminium screws must be replaced. Tightening torque and angle of rotation, aluminium screws/bolts 24 00 2AZ (7, 8, 9, 10, 11). Note it mentions steel bolts can be used in space of aluminum ones and different torque specs for aluminum vs steel bolts. The link to torque specs mentioned are: https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e...eneral/5b4ZKzy |

I have my manual transmission pulled right now for the clutch.
These two bolts are aluminum E18 drive on mine and are part of the 5 piece aluminum (also available as single steel) replacement set. Looks like P/N is different for AT (23001222893) indicated as #2 on the realoem diagram. Note for the manual, the aluminum set is only available aftermarket ($11/set for rein on ECS), but the BMW steel single replacements are selling for >$6 each. The bracket you're missing is slightly different than the manual shape: 18207597064 http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=18_0881 Note, I assume this is unnecessary and may get in the way of an aftermarket DP. EDIT: Bolt layout for manual, the five E18s are the aluminum set: Credit for pic: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...54&postcount=6 Last edited by GATORB8; 10-05-2017 at 11:49 AM.. |
