Not just for me, but for everyone else (first timers, uncertain people who have question). Something like the FI Q&A thread but for LSD Diffs. Here's something i think its a great start. So lets all contribute and post some good stuff. Lets start by making a list of what differentials will fit on the TI for sure. Example, what gear ratio it is (3.45lsd, 3.73lsd etc), what car it came from, will the differential fit right on or will there be a slight modification and if so what kind/ what to do. Also a list what will not fit (maybe like an overall for sure on what car/series, ex e34 or something) So heres kinda an example (just using random numbers and makes) 3.68 e30 2.99 e30 4.12 e46 3.67 e36 3.31 e90 3.44 e92 (needs this and that changed) Edit: Feel free to modify this post | | | 03-02-2007, 02:36 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Puerto Rico Posts: 885 | Hugo, in real oem you find the numbers, and the model of car, when i have my old Ti y prove some diff, in my Ti i use a M3 Manual tranny so i finish with the 2.93lsd, but before i use 3.73 and 4.10!!!!Never find the 3.46 or 3.45 in Puerto Rico, i think if your Ti is Supercharger you need the 2.93 or somekind of 3.2??? if th Ti is NOT supercharger the 3.73 is the perfect number for drag __________________ BMW...MY NEW TOY Mods: Some plastic parts, ///M Wheels and me | | | 03-04-2007, 04:00 AM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: southern california Posts: 1 | Hi. I sell lots of used limited slip diffs for BMWs. I can say with experience that E36 318i and tii uses a small case diff identical to the E30 318i built from 1984-1991. You might want to use the flanges from your existing diff and pop them into a replacement E30 small diff. The flanges snap out by leveraging a beefy screw driver between flange and case. Just avoid putting pressure on the lightweight dust cover that is pressed onto the flange shaft. The ratios I have seen for E30 318i lsds are: 3.64, 3.91 and 4.10. If there are any others, I haven't seen them. Any of these would be an easy and fairly affordable refit into your E36 car. No hassle! | | | 03-06-2007, 04:12 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 | If you look through the differential threads, you will see that there are many choices. Alot of members, myself included, have gone with large case diffs. Quote: Originally Posted by geoaxiom Hi. I sell lots of used limited slip diffs for BMWs.

Ratios, case sizes, mounting and parts needed to do the swap, depending on which diff you choose. It should also list beside each choice who has done that mod.

The added torque is definitely bad news for the small case diff. The ratio runs a close second to the case size for me. I really don't see the need to go with the large case diff if you retain the 1.8. Even supercharged M42 and M44 engines would be fine with the small case diff. __________________ SOLD!!! 1999 332ti //M Sport Titanium Silver M3 S52 3.2 I-6 Engine, M3 Clutch w/ ti Getrag Trans, Z3 3.15 LSD medium case diff and half shafts, OEM Hatch Spoiler, Eurosport HP Underdrive Pulleys, FDM, 17" DS1 rims, M3 Front Struts & Springs, M3 Instrument Cluster, 3-spoke //M steering wheel with tri-color stitching, SSK, CCFL Angels in Depo projectors with 5k HIDs | | | 03-06-2007, 09:17 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 | That may be true, but after doing the searching, it turns out finding a 3.45 LSD from a 318ti is not easy. Then again, I really wasn't sold on the idea anyway. My 3.46 LSD large case was cheaper than buying the 3.45 LSD from the 318ti. I also decided that changing ratios was not the right way to add torque. So I kept the same ratio, and added the LTW flywheel instead.

My stock one lasted only a few years. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 03-08-2007, 02:24 PM | #11 | doesn't care about you.

Both situations will produce a ton of power, so I should probably upgrade to a large case e30 diff. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 03-08-2007, 04:49 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Florida Posts: 2,525 | I'm with Dusten. I'll sell mine as well. 135k miles, and the fluid is regularly changed with redline. It was inspected and all of the seals were changed about two or three years ago. | | | 03-08-2007, 06:11 PM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 | This large case LSD vs small case LSD reminds me of the CAI debate. Why recommend the 3.45 LSD from the Club Sport, when for the same price or less, you can get the large case diff. Truth is, you don't need to buy a single thing, after buying the large case diff. The M-coupe finned cover is a bonus. Just swap a used rear cover from an E30 6 cylinder car, and that's it. Everything else on your Ti is useable. If you decide to upgrade, then swap halfshafts and flanges, and maybe the rear cover.
