DG500
The DG500 sequential gearbox has been specifically developed for use in the new E92 M3 platform with its S65 - V8 engine. This compact design has been derived from the DG400 gearbox, and constructed so as to fulfill the needs and wishes for the optimal utilization of the higher available power levels concerned. The DG500 features a new gear change system that allows for more rapid gear changing. Other features consist, for example, of the integrated lubrication system as well as the box's light weight aluminum casing. The input shaft, which features specially selected metallurgy, can endure torque oscillations thereby increasing the units durability.
The DG500 is available for different applications in accordance with the specific wishes & requirements of the customer.
