Technical data
- Transmission version
- 8 -speed hybrid automatic
- Reference torque limit
- Not separately verified
- Manufacturer
- ZF
- BMW code reference
- GA8P70H
The reviewed sources do not verify a separate transmission torque limit. Engine or hybrid-system torque is not such a limit.
Gear ratios
BMW’s 07/2012 document lists 4.174 for first gear. This remains unconfirmed, so first gear is left blank in the table. Gears 2–8 and reverse come from the named manufacturer source. View sources

Reverse is consistently shown with a negative sign; BMW data sheets give the magnitude of the ratio.
Fluid data
No separately verified fluid data is available for this exact version. Determine the fluid using the full transmission identifier and BMW requirements.
ZF identification
The hybrid 8P70H is a separate type; conventional 8HP70 data is not automatically inherited.
Confirm the fitted variant using the complete identification plate, BMW/OE part number and VIN7.
Record the full marking on the transmission housing.
- Type designation
- The exact type shown on the plate, including every suffix.
- Manufacturer version identifier
- All letters, digits and suffixes of the transmission code; a casting mark alone is insufficient.
- 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.
