    WTB 3.45 Differential

    3.45 LSD units that I've seen over the past few years have been north of $4k USD. The last one I remember less than that was around $2,500, but that was about 6 or 7 years ago, I think. The only way to stay sub $1k on this is to purchase a used, "untested" one. If you have a good seller, they...

    4 speed or 5 speed?

    Not mission critical, but new diff ratio would warrant a modification to your speedo, too. Else, speed and miles will be way off. I just had mine done at Palo Alto Speed shop and am very pleased with the work Hartmut did for me. More than I expected and a reasonable price. Pretty quick turn...

    4 speed or 5 speed?

    I think it may be important to note that there are (2) five speed transmissions that may present. A 265/6 (overdrive) and a 265/5 (close ratio). Dramatically different recommendations relative to which 5-speed we're talking about. The latter has the same top gear (1:1) ratio as the...

    Alternative to RealOEM and bmwmobiletradition-online

    I have no issue with RealOEM nor Maxamillian. I do get ads - so my issue is evidently getting a proper ad blocker. I get the same ads with ShiftOEM - it is inherently no better. I suspect they all have to support their platform in this way. It is, after all, free for us to use.

    something is very fishy down in Florida / CS "i'' on BaT now

    I'm not sure I'm seeing what the elephant in the room is. I have studied VIN plates (perhaps not enough) to understand the differences. My focus is often on the font/lettering/spacing of "BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE A.G" across the top, the same as well as its position of the "Munchen" on the...

    3.45 lsd

    Rob, that is not entirely accurate. US 3.0CS and CSA cars came with the 3.64. It is the European CS and CSi cars that came with the 3.45, as well as certain CSLs. I think Chris posted a thorough list once. EDIT: here is a more comprehensive list...

    Who used the walloth rear floor pans?

    I messaged the groove to better align with the adjacent panel. I started with the floor pan off on the bead roller, and then did some final massaging once the panel was welded in the car. Here is the original misalignment I saw: You may need to relocate the trailing arm nuts: Else, your...

    Instant car collection and man cave

    In the aerial photo, it looks like there are a lot of brown grass rectangles. My guess is some of the "better" cars were already sold off?

    Fixing that little rust spot...

    I found the lead counterweight laying in the bottom of my driver side door. It took me a while to figure out what it was. Thankfully I didn't toss it.

    Kit to turn a Getrag 265/5 into a 6-speed - Netherlands

    I loved the gearing in my E36 M3. It was just right. I documented the RMP/SPEED for all gears in hope of one day replicating it. :)

    What a rollercoaster of a journey. Way to persevere, Steve. Is a part number available for this assembly? Or car model/year to use as search criteria for RealOEM?
