Please let me know if you see one for a good price or have one you are willing to let go. It seems lately that people have been asking far too much for used ones which is also unfortunate. I can get a brand new one with bushing for $241 from ECS: http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Site...28335/ES56007/ , so a new one should be a little less than that Thanks=) __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 03-05-2015, 03:54 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 | For genuine parts I've found BMW of Morristown to have the best prices. They are www.bmw-oem-parts.com, Z3M diff cover is $193.40. I've ordered lots of parts from them, shipping is quick and reasonably priced, usually ~$10 for bigger orders. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 03-05-2015, 04:00 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | I forget, is this for a medium case? __________________ 1998 318ti Sport - "Cali" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, Cali top 1998 318ti Sport - "Max" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, S52 1997 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior 1995 318ti Active - "Blanca" Alpineweib III/Schwartz leather interior Other Current Bimmers: 2006 530i / 2000 2.3L Z3 / 1997 1.9L Z3 / 1999 540it 1997 318ti Sport - "Huera" - RIP 1995 318ti Active - RIP 1995 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Sold 1994 325i Sedan - "Jade" - Sold 1991 318ic - "Bert" - Sold 1985 635csi sold 1984 533i "Max" Sold 1984 318i sold BMWCCA #160411 SUPPORT 318ti.org!

The diff covers are the same size for either IIRC. __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 03-05-2015, 12:46 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 | No, this cover will only work on a medium case diff. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 03-05-2015, 03:37 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: West Bend, Wisconsin Posts: 1,055 | I didn't seem to realize that. Stock is a small case. My diff did whine a hair so I may look into snagging another to refresh and swap out my old diff. __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii Last edited by Earl; 03-05-2015 at 03:42 PM. | | | 03-05-2015, 03:49 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | Ya, if I were to get a E28 medium case diff I was planning to use this cover. I'd already have a few if it fit small case diffs.

I was always worried that it was cooking the fluid during track days but when I drained it after 4 track weekends the fluid still looked like new just with a healthy does of clutch dust added. I might try and find one for my med case diff but with the extra fluid capacity already I don't think it's too necessary with M44 power level. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 03-06-2015, 02:17 AM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: West Bend, Wisconsin Posts: 1,055 | Found a 2.93lsd local for $50 so.....probably snagging that haha __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 03-10-2015, 05:26 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: West Bend, Wisconsin Posts: 1,055 | I now have a medium case so I am still on the search for the diff cover=) __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 03-10-2015, 05:32 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | Earl, did you get E30 half shafts as well?

I really only need to swap out the inner CV joints since the axles are the same length __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 03-10-2015, 07:52 PM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 | All you have to swap is the flanges coming out of the diff. No need to swap CV joints. I'm running e30 3.73 with stock ti axles. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 03-10-2015, 07:54 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: West Bend, Wisconsin Posts: 1,055 | Really? In all the pictures that I see the small case splines look way short. __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 03-10-2015, 11:00 PM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 | Yeah, medium case diff, ti flanges, ti axles. There are other references to that setup if you search old threads. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | | | 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 | | | |
