Okay I see you are going above and beyond the standards. I have the '95 530 with the weak engine, the '94 530 I had could have been the 4.0 just because it was a freight trian. Was a nikasil replaced engine long ago.
I also did some research on upgrading the internals to the absolute limits. 'Muricans use this box in Fords and call it the 6rxx series. For these boxes, custom clutches and clutch pack increases are available. However, my specialist told me that if you remove materials from your steels, the box can overheat more easy and no cooler can compensate the instantaneous heat shifting can generate. For that reason, I will keep the box itself bone stock other than ZF upgrades
Keep an extra beefed trans in stock. THe 5HP 18 is pretty stout since the last one held the power with no issues, had to be at least 75 HP. more than this stock material. It seriously was a killer on the freeway. I am planning on selling this to get another 540 5 or 6 speed E34. Auto box is ok... more 'head room'.
