ZF 8HP30
ZF 8HP30 (GA8HP30Z): identification, sources and data status. Excel gives no ratios for this designation.
The technical figures apply at transmission-family level and have not yet been fully verified against manufacturer sources. Identify the exact version using the full manufacturer identifier.
This database is the result of research carried out by Six-In-Line Kft. in its spare time.
Excel lists this type but provides no separate ratio set. The BMW application and designation require further manufacturer verification.

ZF fluids and oil change kitsZF identification
Record the full marking on the transmission housing. ZF’s guide shows both plate and stamped identification variants.
- Type designation
- The exact type shown on the plate, including every suffix.
- Full ZF catalogue number
- Catalog Number / bill-of-materials number. The full number is required to identify parts.
- Serial number
- Serial Number. Identifies the individual unit; not the same as the transmission family code.
- BMW / OE markings
- Manufacturer part numbers and other codes on the plate. Available fields vary by version.
The prefix is not a complete order number and does not by itself confirm compatibility of the specific version.
Label colour, casting marks and a suffix alone are insufficient for full identification. We do not use Excel’s general “X and Z = all-wheel drive” statement to identify the drivetrain.
