    One more piece of the puzzle nearly finished. Sub not in cos the bolts were too short to reach the T nuts. Will be at Bunnings first thing tomorrow.

    Those more modern m42 intake manifolds just don't look as good as the e30 type! Also I don't think that is a dogleg box unfortunately, I did a bit of a Google as it caught my interest

    Couple of 318is replicas https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/318i/listing/4906252916 https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/318is/listing/4902232093 Edit: dogleg 245 for sale as well... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/gear-boxes/listing/4908713721 Anyone got a 3.46:1 medium case LSD lying about?!

    Looks like from realoem that 316, 318 and 320 had the small case / 168K diffs, 325, 328 and 330 had mid case / 188K and M3 large case. Probably some weird diesel variants etc in the mix also. ssss Thanks Ray, do you happen to know if the ring and pinion can be swapped into my existing diff ? I understand they switched to ball bearings from roller with the E83 items so I'd rather avoid swapping in the entire diff.

    On closer inspection the bonnet and front panel appear to be different shades, so possibly.

    Pretty sexy

    for $30k why wouldnt you clean the jizz off the back seat, and have the bumper repainted?

    "Some drip marks on the back seat leather that I haven’t gotten around to cleaning off" Ummm. Also the clear coat coming off means she's probably had a frontal.

    Normal E30s are struggling a bit whereas E30 M3s are still doing well. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-4907078184.htm

    I honestly wouldn't know how to tell, could me small case? I'm yet to figure out the difference. Here's one I pulled from a 320i I parted out. They should be dime a dozen at any Pick-A-Part.

    Rate this look very highly. Anything in stock? Must be the flappy paddle version.

    Cheers m8! Gonna practice my wool pad skillz as they're sorely lacking. Not bad for a panel that was frozen to the side of the road for a week though 😂

    Ah forgot about those. Yeah don't know the ring gear. Might be the same with different flanges if you lucky
  24. Cement
    Did they have a mid case diff ? I found this really good X3 chart this morning ... looks like the manuals are what i am after which must be very rare in NZ ? Maybe have to go full race car with the auto diff ratio at 4.44 http://tomic.ba/fs/cjenik/E83 Technik 0307.pdf

  26. Vass started following WTB: E46 Mid-case diff or ring & pinion 3.73 or 3.91
  27. Vass
    E46 320i automatics came with 3.91 diffs. No idea on specifics or how interchangeable the internals are though.
  28. Eagle
    Those ratios would have to be X3's, probably the 2.5 which is common as muck. Bear in mind X3's likely use the inferior standard roller bearings vs much superior taper ones found in most E46's. Id assume the crown and pinion are still the same dimensions so they can be interchanged, someone like Kane Barrie would know for sure.
  29. Eagle
    Ive seen people claim they are ok and have them lasted years. To me it doesnt mean much without knowing the particulars, no way they would do anywhere close to what the original arm did. What i can say is anything claiming to be quality, advertising ISO specs etc on the description is usually inferior, typical non name asian style product marketing. No name Taiwan\Chinese rubber quality isn't very good, usually starts to fail after the 1 or 2 year warranty period, around 30,000-50,000km if i had to put a number on it I bought E36 Meyle HD set from Spareto for just under $500 shipping . They usually arrive in 4-6 days. Not much more and at least you getting something of known quality. Meyle also supply the inner and outer ball joints (and bushings of course) which you can replace if you have the tools which ends up being much easier as you not buying the the whole arm Pretty sure ive got spare set of genuine arms with fairly new Meyle ball joints and Febi bushings that id sell you for less than the price of those arms.

    Messing about with some hellrot panels from a ti that decided to upside-down itself. first pass at 1000rpm with farecla G3 premium on a yellow pad with a Rupes 21mm DA. Gonna have some fun ending up burning through!

  32. Cement
    Looking to change out the 3.38 ratio on my existing mid case E46 diff. Unsure which models the 3.73 and 3.91 came from ... I believe some X3 internals can be swapped in also which might provide additional options ? I'd prefer the 3.91 👍
