SMG 5-speed transmission (GS5S31BZ)

All 5-speed TCU had the part numbers 62000.022.0x and CFC2058.0x on their housing. These numbers are not BMW part numbers. The OEM part numbers are depending on the software version and not on the used Hardware. For this reason, the part number of BMW is not as important as the other two numbers.

SMG 6-speed transmission (GS6S37BZ)

The 6-speed TCU had the part numbers 62000.034.0x and CFC2258.0x on their housing.
