Latly the diff on my beema is been hell noisy, like wip lashing every time i change gear, ive got a manual 1985 320i 4door. I was looking at a new diff for it on a new zleand ebay type site which is very trustable. this guy is selling a diff out of a 1988 320i for only 200 new zealand dollars which is better then paying 1000+ at garage. im trying to find out would a 1988? diff fit in a 1985 320i!?!
here the link to the page where the guy is selling it
I have succesfuly changed my 86' 325e diff with 2.93 ratio into one with LSD and 3.9 ratio. I don't even know which model it's from, but these parts are surely interchangeble between different models.
BTW, Limited Slip Differential is an AMAZING thing. I recomend getting it for anyone who are keen in sporty driving.
You can do it yourself if you are mechanically challenged. It's wick simple, shouldn't take you more than 2 hours if you don't have a clue. It's a 40 minute job.
Did you check to see if there was gear lube in the case?
