This precision-machined billet crossmember is purpose-built for mounting modern DCT and 8HP transmissions in the BMW E31, E32, and E34 chassis. CNC machined from solid 6061-T6 aluminum and hard anodized black, it's engineered to handle the torque demands of serious engine swaps while bolting directly to the factory mounting points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGetrag 7-Speed DCT (GS7D36SG \/ \"DCT\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZF 8HP (8HP50, 8HP70, 8HP75, 8HP90)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW E31 (8-Series, 1990-1999)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW E32 (7-Series, 1988-1994)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW E34 (5-Series, 1989-1995)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlotted chassis mounting holes allow front-to-back adjustment to accommodate different adapter plate thicknesses and chassis variations.

But mounting these transmissions properly requires a crossmember designed for the application. The OEM crossmember was never intended for these transmissions, and fabricated solutions often compromise strength or adjustability. This billet crossmember solves both problems - it's stronger than steel fabrication at a fraction of the weight, and the adjustable design means you can fine-tune your driveline geometry regardless of your specific swap setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolts directly to factory crossmember mounting locations.
