Complete Auto Transmissions for BMW 325i

How to Find the Right Automatic Transmission for Your BMW 325i

The B25i was manufactured by BMW from 1992 up until 2006 in a wide range of body styles. If your transmission has stopped working and needs to be replaced, finding complete auto transmissions for the BMW 325i is an alternative to repairing the existing one. You can find a large inventory of used and new transmissions on eBay, and this guide will help you narrow down the search.

You should follow these steps to help simplify your search:

• Model year and engine type: The engine type will play a large impact on which transmissions will work in the car. You can find information about your BMW 325i through the VIN and vehicle's registration.
• Brand: You can find affordable automatic transmissions from BMW from OEM brands along with aftermarket options, such as Lakewood Industries, 1A Auto, and others.
• Fitment type: You can search for direct replacement options that are built to replace a stock transmission, or you can choose from different performance based transmissions if your engine calls for it.
• Condition: You can find some new transmissions along with used engines as well.

OEM transmissions will typically be more expensive than a stock aftermarket option. Compared to a manual transmission, the automatic transmission will also have a higher price. Transmissions with more gears will also increase the price as well. The pricing will be affected by the condition of the transmission. Transmissions that have been run a larger amount of miles will be cheaper than a less used transmission.

A remanufactured or rebuilt transmission will give you a used transmission that has been tested and restored to its original factory specifications. A remanufacturer will take apart the transmission down to its core components. The components will be tested and have worn-out and damaged parts replaced. Fluids will also be replaced, and the transmission will be put back together and tested with an engine to make sure that it will work properly.

Direct fitment transmissions are also called stock transmissions. Performance-based ones will sometimes have a different gear configuration. They will also use different materials that can handle faster shifting between gears and be more durable in general.
