I been searching and haven't come across an answer yet or a definitive answer to be precise.
I have a LSD 3.15 diff in my 325i at moment and want to put in different diff ratio. Now I have also added 18inch rims.
Slight difference to the stock 15' rim gearing..only minor but can feel it as well.
I have worked out via spredsheet the diff ratio I want.
3.46 or 3.64
Now from what I understand a e34 525and 535 manual use the 3.64 ratio and 320i e36 uses 3.46.
Will the diff from the e34 fit..I belive it wont but I just dont know, I have heard the pinion or guts fit into my diff so I am willing to do a transplant but can anyone say with 100% that the 5series pinion fits the 325i e36 diff centre.
OR
Is the e36 320i diff a down grade or on par with the 325i?... will that be a straight swap or would it need a transplant as well.
Any help would be great cheers and sorry to the grumpy ones if this has been answered a thousand times, I just couldn't find it.:D
