Interesting...

I'm wondering if this is the same bellhousing used in the Eclat 2.2 (?) which would be extremely rare.  This variant from the factory used the Getrag 265 5-speed from the (as mentioned) BMW M3.

The 'dog-leg' Getrag reminds me of our beloved 235/5 and the 262CR found in European 6-series.  However, both of these transmissions have 5th = 1:1.

By itself the 265 isn't special when compared to the W57 or W58, but if it's been fitted by Metric Mechanic as an 'ultimate transmission'....that would be extremely cool!
