6HP19 Replacement
Hi I'm new, looking for some help with my 2008 E61 520d LCI. Huge BMW fan but this is my first 5
So the gearbox (6HP19) has started throwing gear monitoring 4-5 and e coupling codes after around 20 minutes of driving. Oil and filter changed but no difference so assume box or converter damaged.
I plan to fit a used box, converter and cooler from a working same year/model car. Change oil and filter in the process.
Am I correct in thinking the replacement gearbox will need coding with the cars VIN for it to function? Is there anything else I should be aware of? I know it's a risk fitting a used gearbox but the car isn't worth enough to warrant other options
Any help would be much appreciated

Did you make any progress on this? I don't have any specific experience with transmissions so I can't answer your questions. Have you looked at solenoid replacements as a possible fix?
