5spd vs. 6spd
Hello I am new here I have a 2003 525i with 299.000 miles and would like to know should I replace my tranny with a standard 5spd or swap for M5 6spd.

Stay with the stock box. Not worth the excessive costs to upgrade.

+1, Stick with what has been done before. There are probably computer related changes you would need to make to change over to the 6 speed.

The E60 box would probably fit the 525i too, but not without driveshaft modifications. Also, the 525's came with a Getrag not a ZF, which many say shifts more crisply than a ZF.
