    12 a

    This may give us a greater ratio than 3 to 1.
    Probably around 4 to one. That means we can run the engine
    up to 11,000 RPM.

    Very little additional weight for the gear box.

    Requires 2 locked  ring gears to the housing.

    It is in  a BMW 323i  2000 up
    Transmission part number  5L40-E rear planet.

    Also BMW 325  2000 up.

    Also BMW 328  2000 to 2007.

    BMW 330 1999 up.

    BMW 528 2000 up

    It will look something like this.

    Paul, I came across the double planetary concept a while back, and never had the time to look through the parts catalog. Are the pics you attached stock, with the welded opinions. Thanks for the research!

These are replacement parts for the BMW auto tx.

I would have to have one to work out the details of the 4 to 1 gear box.
