Hi all, first post on this RR forum. I can get BMW parts at employee cost. Anyone know what model and year BMW transmission filter/gasket/fill plug kit to order? I want to assume from a 2002/3 X5.

Also need the O rings and any gaskets for my leaking oil filter housing.

In general would like to know all and BMW parts that in the 2004. Thanks.

I don't know off hand, but when i did mine, i noticed the part number for the oil is printed on the bottom of the gearbox.

The Filter is the same one as the Early X5, E53 i think the internal model number is.

Pretty much everything on it is from the X5.

Thanks I'll give it a try. I read somewhere that the 5hp24 in the BMW had a different case than the RR(FF) so I wasn't sure if the pan shape could be different.

The Pan on the bottom is the same it has BMW written all over it.

The 5HP24 is unique to the L322 and does have a different case however it shares most parts with other versions, the main difference is the output shaft as the L322 has a 2 speed transfer box whereas other BMW/Jaguar versions don't.

The sump pan and plugs are the common across all models of 5HP24 as confirmed in the ZF parts manual:

I use Realoem for BMW part number equivalents.

E53 X5 4.4i M62 from early 2003 will be the same for common parts.

Thanks. I use RealOEM too for part numbers. My daughter works for a Mega car dealer. I was surprised that even with her discount the kit was still $100 US and $15/liter for fluid. Are the BCM and PCM swapable?

I was also hoping for a miracle and that BMW could provide a VIN coded key. Anyone know if it is possible?
