Genuine BMW part 23 22 1 222 253: Shift gear for 1st. gear. The number stamped on the part is 23221222253; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1222253. You will find it on our Transmission shelf, under Gear wheels.

It fits every E36 body style (320i, 323i and 325i, 1992–1999), with the M50 or M52 engines — and the European-market versions. It also fits every E46 body style (320i, 323i and 325i, 1999–2006), with the M52, M54 or M56 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 6 diagrams, among them S5D...G drive shaft/output shaft (23_0719) and S5D...G countershaft/reverse gear (23_1179). It weighs about 1.4 kg (3.1 lb).

We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
