I saw a complete one minus the diff on ebay awhile back. Get ready to pay big bucks for it. The one on ebay was north of $1100 plus shipping from California. I'll keep an eye out but if I see one at a descent price.... __________________ | | | 06-03-2011, 02:26 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | I don't need the diff or half shafts. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 06-03-2011, 03:09 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 | How does the z3m subframe help?

If you got the complete rear setup with halfshafts, you wouldn't need to shim the rear ABS sensors. | | | 06-03-2011, 09:41 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 | what years and models are we looking at? __________________ | | | 06-03-2011, 12:08 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 | Quote: Originally Posted by BimmerBum It does not help... but the arms, axles, and diff do. | Haha I knew this.
