any ideas if a 530 gearbox is likely to be the same as my 328?
guy at work says he has one going spare. siad he would give it away free to anyone who buys his wheels. said i might be after a gearbox (mine sounds
like a bag of spanners some times. think bearings) might be tempted to just swap it
he said to make him an offer, and he'll probably take it. whats low enough to not be taking the piss? 
Any idea what make and model the box is? (may be getrag iirc)
1988 - 1996 5 series had getrag 260
1992 - 1999 3 series had getrag 250
I paid 50 for my getrag 260 and Id happily pay that for another one in good nick!

Depends on the year and models
most E36 328's had the S5D 320Z THD? which for the most part was the same as the E34 530 box tho later models of 328 '96' onward had a variation.
Should have a tag on it?
i'll check today. cars in the garage for a few other things, will ask them to have a look for a tag. its a 1995 328. not sure what
model this guys 530 was, but the box is in his shed, so he can check easy enough. if the price is right, i'm tempted to have it anyway. Cross reference your gearbox part number here
