The problem is when installing a new generation BMW 6 cylinder transmission (from the Nxx engines) onto an older M/S5x engine there is no place to attach the starter motor. This adapter solves that issue by providing a mounting location for a factory BMW starter.

The adapter will work for all M50, M52, M54, S50, S52 and S54 engines when mounting to 6HP19, 6HP21, 8HP45, S6-53 and GS7D36SG transmissions (that originally came behind a 6cyl BMW).

Adapters are billet aluminum and include original BMW hardware necessary to connect to the transmission.

Adapting to a late model transmission is a straightforward process:
  1. Acquire a flexplate or flywheel/clutch kit (depending on transmission application) that is compatible with an 8-bolt crankshaft flange N54 BMW engine (<01/2009 production).
  2. Bolt the transmission to the engine using (4) mounting holes. The lower holes with the dowels will connect without modification. The upper (2) holes will need to be slotted to line up with the original holes in the engine.
  3. Bolt the adapter to the starter using the supplied hardware 
  4. Bolt the starter and adapter assembly to the transmission.
*Note, starter not included.

We have numerous kits that are in use all over the world and have been using them for 10's of thousands of miles in street and race applications.

Please send us a message with any questions you may have. This is a straightforward process, but there are some areas where compatibility issues can arise due to the wide range of transmission options available.

We can also help put together additional parts to swap these transmissions into your BMW as we do keep a number of swap parts in stock
