"Up until now, when repairing or restoring 328s, synchro gearboxes from other manufacturers have been used. They differ from the Hurth-designed original gearbox, not sharing the original pattern of non-synchronised first and second gear and gears three and four with cone synchronisation. As only 464 cars were built over 70 years ago, parts have been understandably difficult to source, let alone a complete gearbox.  The current BMW Classic Center parts range comprises some 40,000 components - and the number is growing. The authentically reproduced 328 gearbox is manufactured in partnership with ZF and in close consultation with FIA and FIVA. Both clubs have confirmed the newly available gearbox&amp;#039;s total authenticity compared to the original one, so were you purchase one of the 55 made, it will be a thorough and honest addition to your classic 328.
