    Default socket size for five speed tranny case

    could anyone tell me what size of inverted torx socket is required to remove the trany from my 89 535 5 speed. I don't see any need to purchase a set as it seems to be the only bolt head on the whole car that requires this 'wierd' socket.

    Just did this on an E28 533i... I suspect the bolts are the same. I bought several, but only used the E8, E10, and E12 IIRC. There were different-sized bolts holding the engine/tranny/starter in the various places.
