Successful diff swap threads need this! | | | 12-17-2009, 05:23 AM | #17 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: mbsc Posts: 570 | great work Jess and everyone else. Good reading here. | | | 12-17-2009, 07:53 AM | #18 | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 | OK... I started the listings thread. Please send your info to me (or post it here) in the following order and I'll add it to the listings thread: - What is the production month/year of the 318ti that this is going into? (e.g. 6/96)
- What type of transmission? (auto/manual, Getrag, ZF, etc.)
- Drive shaft came from what year & model car?
- Diff. ratio
- Diff. case size
- Diff. was taken from what year & model car?
- What type of diff. cover?
- Diff. cover was taken from what year & model car?
- Output flanges were from what year & model car?
- Half-shafts were taken from what year & model car?
- What modifications did you have to do?
- Have you had any issues with this combination?
- Misc. Notes
If you don't have any info for a particular number, include the number anyway so I can more easily copy/paste the data into a spreadsheet that will eventually provide a PDF file. E.g., 10 - 1987 325i with an auto tranny 11 - 12 - the case cover had a crack that I didn't notice and leaked, but I got that fixed. This is the "listings" thread in the Knowledge Base. __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

If it came with a small case differential like the 318ti, you should use the 323ti halfshafts. If it came with a medium case, you can use either e30 325 or 323ti halfshafts. Roadrash, you should post a link to the listings thread at the beginning of this thread | | | 12-22-2009, 03:03 PM | #21 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Sydney, Australia Posts: 593 | The majority of the stuff I used was from the 2.8L Z3.

Roadrash, you should post a link to the listings thread at the beginning of this thread | It has what we over here call the "big" pumpkin.. the 318th has the "small" pumpkin. So I wll just use the E30 325.. they are easier to get. | | | 12-22-2009, 07:20 PM | #23 | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 | Quote: Originally Posted by cooljess76 Roadrash, you should post a link to the listings thread at the beginning of this thread | Well, duh, yeah, that would be a great help, huh?

I wrote one in the diff section, not stickied. The stubs pop out and the half shafts require you to remove the nuts from the hubs, and to be knocked out so new ones can be installed. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 05-17-2010, 12:52 AM | #30 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: new york Posts: 511 | there are bolts holding it in on the wheel end of the half shaft? im gonna search your DIY now, thanks. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
