    Zf gearbox HELP!!!!!!

    On top doesn't look original - Reverse switch? Last one maybe oil as its low ?
    Just guessing but I am sure someone will come along that knows. Pm forest rallying he may know ( name might not be totally correct ) or graham may as I think bmw used the zf

    bmw didnt use them in production, they were always getreg boxes, but think some were used in racing, but not with those ratios, most likely there box has come from something lotus powered like a sunbeam
