Transmission Type by Year

Hello,

I am experiencing Transmission problems @151k miles and am looking into replacing with a lower mileage transmission or rebuilt that are sold over the internet.

I have a 1997 E39 528i built in 07/97 which has the GM transmission (BMW part# 24001422883 )

A4S 310R
(A=Automatic. 4= 4 gears, S= TopGearOverdrive, 310= Maximum Torque rating in Nm, R= GM)

On the transmission Serial# Plate (green) it shows GM Part# 96 108 236 SC.

My question is......is a transmission which has the same identical GM
Part# 96 108 236 SC off of an E39 1/99 BMW interchangeable with my 1997 528?

Visually, it looks identical from the outside....including the Electronic switch mechanism...

????

Would appreciate some help!
