The aluminum gearbox adapter allows for the connection of ultra-fast modern ZF 8HP gearboxes (BMW) with the BMW V12 M70 M73 and 6-speed ZF GS6-53DZ gearboxes. By choosing PMC Motorsport, you are investing in proven quality and engineering precision. The performance difference between the M70 with 4-speed and M73 with 5-speed may be more about the engine size & tune (+400CC & cams) than one more gear.
The interesting issue is, the 5-speed & 8-speed drivetrain will have overlaps for engine RPM, gearing and road speed (tire RPM/mile).

Great for use in Motorsport or change an automatic transmission in a daily car to manual. The answer lies in one specific, legendary modification: swapping the BMW M70 V12 engine with a Tremec T56 manual transmission. For decades, the BMW M70 engine has been revered for its smoothness.
It powered the flagship 7 Series and the stunning 8 Series coupes. However, most of these cars left the factory with 4. The M70 with Tremec T56 BMW swap sits in that niche world of custom builds where performance, sound, and driver involvement matter more than factory options.
This combination is special because BMW never sold the M70 V12 with a manual gearbox. You are taking a big luxury V12 and giving it true three. Hey All! Some of you may have heard of my long progressed 6 speed swap I've been contemplating on over the past year with my E31 M70.
After extensive research and spending hours on end sifting through threads and blog posts, speaking to mechanics and confirming fitment using parts, I can now confirm the following: You can use the Getrag 420G Transmission with the M70.
