I broke the CV joint when I went agricultural. Is this a 318ti axle or an e30?  Thanks, Bill |  |  | | 09-30-2012, 10:47 PM | #2 | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Austin, TX Posts: 29 |

I think you have the whole M z3 rear diff and axles, not sure if these are the same size as the regular ti. __________________  | | | | | 09-30-2012, 11:11 PM | #4 | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Austin, TX Posts: 29 |

The diff is definitely from an e30 and I assume it is a "mid" size. | | | | | 10-01-2012, 04:26 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |
Since you have an e30 medium case diff, you need the axles from a e30 6cyl or e30 M3. Ti axles will be slightly too long. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

You can measure the diameter of the axle to see what it is. The diameter of the ti axle is 26mm according to realoem. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...06&hg=33&fg=25 __________________ ~Dave~
