Hi, I'm thinking about what is the demand and availability of the 5-gears gearboxes now? Is it something still desired? Have you seen any recently for sale, if yes - where?
Have a nice day.

Yup, 5-speed gearboxes with integrated speedometer drive as required for the E21 are still rare and sought after items. But they do pop up on local craigslists and the likes.

Is it possible to find parts/service kits for the 5 speed?
I bought one to fit my 2.0 m10 that had been on a shelf a long time.
It was sent off for a refurb and they're having some trouble sourcing parts. It's now gone to a gearbox specialist in Stoke where they have the facilities to make parts.
Just hoping I can save the considerable expense of having bespoke 1 off parts made.
