    3.15 Diff Junk yard removal

    I've read up on a couple DYI on removing the diff. My local junk yard has 95 740i. I'm wondering how difficult would it be to remove it when I wont have power tools or a jack. The car is already sitting high enough to get under them. The diff will only cost me 25 bucks!

    Is that the 3.15 LSD on the 95 740i? Or was it only in the 750iL?

    So I couldn't find my original thread, but what older model limited slip diffs will fit into the carrier of the 95 3.15 open diff?
