318ti open diff
 

hey guys, I was just wondering is a 2.93 open diff good for my 1996 318ti all stock ? Give me some advice guys thank you

hi,no,its too long and doesn't good for your engine ( low rpm )
your just transform the ti into slug

So what's a good diff?? For my car ?

3.45

Is that good for the stock motor ??

Some TIs came with 3.45 from the factory :)

So sure it is good for stock

How can I tell which one I have

Can I add people on here .. You alway comment on my post.. You give so much advice lol which I knew you in person dude

LSD was standard on all 95 clubsports only

Optional for 95 and very early 96.

After that it was switched to ASC

It is safe to say that your car does not have one

Add where? Haha. Yeah this forum is very friendly. There is always someone that is willing to help.

:) yeah I can tell... What's is it worth changing it ?

If you want to make the car seem "Zippier" you can upgrade to a 3.73 LSD Med case diff from an e30. It will rev up faster, but pull more RPM's on the highway (about a 400rpm increase at 70).

Also if your ti is an Auto (instead of Manual), the it came with a 4.45 diff.

What you mean by zipper ? Lol

Zippier, not Zipper... :biggrin:

Meaning a little more get up and go, to Zip!

318ti Open Diff?
 

Don't know what you are looking to do? Replacing a bad diff or just looking for info. If interested, I have a Stock Open Diff that I took out of my 98ti as I replaced it with a LSD for auto-crossing. It has low miles. If interested, let me know.
