so the only thing that they stole was the sump pan? thats spooky the way I read it (they took the pan and all the bolts and valve body).
then again am I reading they stole the whole freaking old transmission?!?
I havent done a bimmer trans but on US transmissions the main bolts are usually a lot longer and have a bigger size bolt head...there were exceptions though. You dont want to pause between replacement steps as you may forget something important. There is the slide lever that helps index the shafts travel for each gear. Dive in and dont be afraid of the big gray mystery box.
