BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW 6 Series F06 (2013+)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Building your perfect BMW is more than just adding horsepower and stiff suspension. Your drivetrain needs attention in order to deliver power effectively. Most BMWs feature comfortable clutch discs, heavy flywheels, long shifter throws, and open differentials. The drivetrain transmits power to the wheels, but can also be a source of power loss when it is designed for comfort rather than performance. Everything on this page will help you improve your power delivery and driving experience by providing custom Limited Slip Differentials, Short Shift Conversions, Performance Clutch Discs, Lightweight Flywheels, and anything else your BMW needs to be the perfect driving experience.

The ZF 8-speed automatic transmission (8HP) has become the go-to choice for performance enthusiasts, delivering lightning-fast shifts, impressive torque handling, and ample tuning potential. However, the stock transmission pan falls short in critical areas. Its plastic construction, integrated non-replaceable filter, and limited fluid volume leave little margin for error in demanding conditions.

To address these limitations, we've engineered a premium solution: a cast aluminum transmission pan that boosts durability, cooling performance, and serviceability. Designed with enthusiasts in mind, this upgraded pan increases fluid capacity by 1 liter to reduce transmission temperatures and improve long-term reliability, even under aggressive driving or track conditions.

Built to outlast and outperform the OEM plastic pan, the aluminum construction resists damage from road debris and eliminates the risk of cracking. Our pan is hard-coat anodized in black for superior corrosion protection and a long-lasting finish that looks as good as it performs.

Our aluminum pan upgrade is engineered to work seamlessly with the OEM G8X 8HP transmission filter (24007855263), allowing for easy and cost-effective fluid service. Integrated magnets help to trap metal particulate, extending the life of your transmission by keeping contaminants out of the fluid.

Key Features:

Cast aluminum construction offers superior strength and resilience over the OE plastic pan

Increased fluid capacity (+1L) enhances thermal management and reduces the risk of overheating

Serviceable design uses the OEM G8X transmission filter for easy, affordable maintenance

Hard coat anodized finish provides exceptional corrosion resistance and longevity

Integrated magnets collect metallic debris, protecting transmission internals

Installation:

Vehicle plastic belly pans may vary. Because the Turner 8HP transmission pan is taller to allow for increased fluid capacity, some vehicles may require trimming of the plastic belly pan, or the belly pan may need to be installed over the transmission pan where it may make contact.

Red Line 70W/80W GL-4 MTL gear oil (SAE 5W30/10W30 engine oil viscosity) designed for use in BMW manual transmissions. Provides excellent protection of gears and synchronizers and its balanced slipperiness provides a perfect coefficient of friction, allowing easier shifting. The MTL can be used as a replacement for the factory MTF or MTF-LT2 used by BMW. Add MTL to older BMWs that have become tough to shift will restore shift smoothness. Many experts agree that this is best lubricant to use in BMW manual transmissions. Sold by the quart.

Red Line 75W90 is a full synthetic high-performance gear oil that is an excellent substitute for expensive factory fluid and an upgrade over off-the-shelf economy fluid. Red Line thoroughly evaluates the manufacturer's recommendations and only makes a fluid recommendation if their own product meets or exceeds the original specification. In many cases the Red Line synthetic will outperform the factory supplied fluids. We've been using Red Line Oil in our BMWs since we opened in 1994 and it remains our best selling BMW differential fluid. 75/90 is the weight most commonly used in BMW differentials since the 1960s, including the factory clutch-type limited-slip diffs (exceptions being M3/M5/M6 cars since 2001). We use 75W90 in nearly all BMW chassis and the custom differentials that we sell. It's great for the street where the polyol-ester base has natural lubricity and friction modifiers lead to smoother and quieter operation with lower operating temps than the factory fluid. We also use it in some track cars that don't already use the more aggressive 75/90NS fluid (without friction modifiers).

Recommended or exceeds specifications for API GL-5, GL-6, MT-1, MIL-L-2105E, SAE J2360, and Chrysler spec MS-9763. Matches the specifications for the factory BMW SAF-XO diff fluid (#07512293972).

RED LINE MT-90 is designed to provide excellent protection and improved shiftability for manual transmissions and transaxles. MTL and MT-90 have cured the problem of hard shifting in numerous transmissions which have notoriously difficult shifting. The secret to their success is two-fold. First, they have the appropriate coefficient of friction for most manual transmission synchronizers. Many gear oils, engine oils, and ATFs are too slippery for proper synchro engagement. Secondly, the viscosity characteristics of MTL and MT-90 allow proper shifting over the entire temperature range which the transmission will experience. The synthetic base oils used have a very high viscosity index which provides relatively constant viscosity as temperature changes. MTL is a low 75W, almost a 70W, at very low temperatures and a high 80W, nearly an 85W, at elevated temperatures, providing adequate viscosity to prevent wear and deaden gear noise. MT-90 is a thicker 75W90 version of MTL. The shear stability and oxidation stability of these products are excellent, thus the physical characteristics of Red Line MTL and MT-90 will change little with use.

Over the life of a vehicle, the transmission can often be overlooked when performing routine maintenance. If left unserviced, the automatic transmission fluid will break down, causing the valve body and filter to become contaminated with deposits and sludge. This will lead to poor shifting, slipping, and ultimately, transmission failure. Kit Includes: OEM Hengst Automatic transmission filter OEM Hengst Oil Pan Gasket & Installation Hardware OEM Hengst Drain plug with sealing washer OEM Hengst Fill plug with sealing washer 7 Liters of Liqui-Moly Top Tec 1800 ATF NOTE: Depending on the model, an additional liter of fluid may be necessary if you are draining your oil cooler or removing the valve body. As per ZF's recommendations, Turner Motorsport suggests performing a full service on your 8HP automatic transmission every 50,000 miles. If your vehicle is modified and makes more power than stock or if your vehicle is regularly track-driven, we recommend shorter 30,000-mile service intervals. This will ensure your transmission's fluid is free from contamination which will help extend the life of internal transmission components like clutch packs and solenoids.

Excessive driveline vibration is cause by one of a few things, but more than likely, it is the mounts in your vehicle. They keep your engine and transmission secure for more positive shifting and driveline triangulation as well as absorbing vibration. If any of these are occuring in your BMW, it's time to examine your mounts. This motor mount is one step towards repair. This Original BMW mount will function and fit just like stock. Not only will it fit great, it will absorb those nasty vibrations, quieting your cabin and reducing vehicle shake. Take a look at your other mounts prior to ordering. Grab your engine by the top and shake it. If it moves rather significantly, replace all the mounts to stiffen up your entire driveline for better performance.

    GA8HP 8 speed automatic transmission fluid pan and filter Automatic transmissions are reliable, shift smoothly, and can last without issue so long as they are properly maintained. Over time, the transmission fluid becomes thick and the filter becomes contaminated with small metal particles. This can cause excess wear, high transmission operating temperatures, and eventual failure. To prevent this we recommend changing your filter, fluid, and seals to ensure your transmission continues to operate flawlessly. We recommend filter and fluid changes every 50,000 miles.
