I've just moved house. Still dont have a garage but I've got a shed! I've kept my old tranny because I wanted to take it apart and find out what failed. I dont have the valve body manual but you can drop that without taking the tranny out anyway. I do have the workshop manual from ZF but it doesnt cover the VB. This may not be of interest to guys in the US as I think this tranny was only fitted to the 530 and M3. I dont want to bore everybody with another auto tranny thread but if anybody is interested I will make notes and take pics
