Here's what I just posted in my build thread regarding the diff...
Pulled the diff out, gears look fine, no broken teeth. Fluid is a little bit silvery, but nothing crazy. When I'm rotating it, I can tell there is a spot on the pinion where it gets significantly harder to turn. Maybe a high spot? Not really sure. There isn't any obvious visible wear on the pinion.
Any ideas? I need to drive this car 350mi back home either today or tomorrow, and I haven't had any luck finding a diff locally (rochester ny)
Here is the vid of the noise it's making:
Wasn't there a guy on this subforum that builds diffs? Maybe somebody has a phone number for him?

None of the lsd bolts are backed off ? Look real good.

Sometimes technology gets so frustrating. Glad you got her figured out. Looking forward to seeing how the M&H radials do. But then again, with the Federal RS-R's being about $100 less per tire, I may just cheap out if I go R-comp.

No worries, that sounds like a sweet diff.
I saw that, but since I already have the 3.15, I think I'll stick with it for a little while.
On a drag racing related topic... I just moved back to CT, which is bad news for racing. There are three nice tracks (Island dragway, Englishtown, and Lebanon), but they are all about 2 hours away. Which is pretty far, especially when my insurance towing is only 60mi.
We are actually in the New England forum. You can be an honorary member but your states of NY and CT are actually in another forum. You might get more takers there unless maybe there are some southern MA people here.

Saturday June 7 is looking like good weather for the test and tune open drag racing at NED. Hopefully the honorary New England forum members from CT will come up. I was not in charge of defining New England for Bimmerforums.
