I think the wagon auto looks close, but the ribbing was slightly different, not sure if there was something else different

The 240D auto cross member is for the 300D 4 speed swap, absolutely not a drop in replacement for the 300D 5 speed swap

Part number is listed in first post. I will let you know when I get it if it is correct. I got it from the online EPC system
