    Differential swap project creep

    Most normal people would be enjoying their days off by taking a nice walk in the park, going out to dinner or maybe catching up on shows... but me, not so much, apparently am a glutton for punishment.. No rest for the wicked
    Started the morning with nice easy diff swap, but wait ... remembered I have a matching rear Dinan sway bar laying around... oh crap then this happened...

    You'll be relived to know that BMW's are already gluten free. But being such a glutton, you may not have noticed!

    Ok put the car back together yesterday, matching Dinan sway bar and 3.45 lsd are in!
    Diff is perfect, great balance between 3.15 and 3.64. Car has legs now and I got my 1st and 2nd gear back!
