Possible to manual swap into 335is?

dailyis · 05-22-2022, 09:11 AM

Does the 335is have a different 6 speed manual from the regular 335i? I can't seem to find anything related to manual swapping the is (considering it's a rare model)

Is it possible? 99% sure.

From what I understand it’s the same trans as the 335, but with a stronger clutch.

The only way it would NOT be feasible is if the mounting points are somehow different on the 335is vs a regular 335. Because then you’d be stuck with having to find a manual out of a 335is—and gooood luck with that

. I struggle to think the mounting points would have changed tho.

interesting....

with some research, 335is comes with GS6-53DZ and 335i comes with GS6-45BZ. Good luck with this journey!

pilot bearings are different, and reading that the drive shafts are different lengths also
