Just a boost to get people thinking~
Or is there another model that I can get one from besides the big-six 4-speeds? (e.g. e21 4-speed, Volvo?)

I don't remember if the drive gear is different or if the speedo internal gearing is different for different differential setups. I think the speedo is different, so you should be able to, by the looks of the part numbers, use the speedo drive from any Getrag 265, 240, and 245 used in BMW applications.

Wormwheel and drive are the same at all Getrags, 265, 240, and 245 !
You can use the set you have installed in your old 4-speed.
But for dismantling you need a special extractor!

Thank you both for your replies. I didn't think to look at RealOEM, which is strange since I do it for everything else.
Oranger, could you please elaborate on the extractor? Are you speaking of a gear puller type device? I'm afraid I am going to have to search the yards for one of these since nobody seems to have one for sale. I am converting from and automatic, by the way, hence the need for a drive gear.
EDIT: Ahh, never mind, I see be your photos what you are talking about. Is there another method for removal?
Thanks,
Scott C.

I had to move the speedo drive from my 4 speed when I switched to a 265. I needed no such extractor, just a curved pick, like what a dentist uses. I was able to use that to pull the whole assembly out with a minimum of fuss.

I used a 8 lb maul to get everything loosened up and a coathanger to pick the gear out.

Still looking...
Found a245 (or is it a 240) out of an '80 e21. Pulled it all apart to find that the drive is behind the main output bearing. Tried beating on it, separating the case. Nada. Zero. Zilch. No luck... Maybe the 5lb. hammer wasn't weighty enough.
