Rear differential cover stabilizing flange broken

[b.u.ti-ful]

While inspecting the underside of my recent ebay 318ti purchase looking for whatever is making the left turn noise, I noticed the rear differential cover has a stabilizing flange that had broke and somebody JB welded it back on with a few screws added. YIKES! I need a new cover just like the one in this diagram http://tinyurl.com/s848f if anyone knows of one.

I just pulled the diff out of my car. It was the stock 3.45 non limited slip. Not sure if I wanna sell just the cover though. The diff only has 65,000 miles on it.

...Or end up paying 89$ for a brand new one from the dealership overnight. Very easy job to do, use better quality diff oil when refilling.

I just called the dealer and they said $156.40 and I told him to go ahead and order it for me. Also a gasket and Locktite 5970 sealer, which he says is what you're supposed to use on the gasket. Thanks for helping me along guys.

WOAH, if i knew you were gonna spend that much on the plate i coulodve ordered it for you for 60$ cheaper. Whats your TI's Stats...lsd, ratio?

I just checked the tag and it says 4.44 ratio and there are no letters, so I guess that means not LSD.
