#32 of 37 In need of tranny model for 2000 323i by mjbro4
Jan 12, 2009 (4:39 pm)
Not sure if it is a 5L40E OR ZF 5HP-19? Unable to get under the car at this time, but need info to search for replacement. I believe it's production was 6/00. Thank you for all your help.

It's most likely a 5L40.

Thanks for the response, would the vin # help determine this also? Any way to enter my vin and see this?

Alldata says it's a ZF 5HP 19 (build date 3/00 to 6/00) This trans would have the ID # A5S 325 Z
The GM 5L40E looks to be the earlier unit. So if ALLDATA is correct 3/00 is the cut-off date. I'd guess most 323s are indeed the GM 5L40E, but not yours, which is a fairly late build date.
