t we are talking about m52 m50 into e36 compact WILL , not a sedan . ti rear driveshaft half is much shorter than a sedan or coupe. so when you intstall medium case diff , with the auto rear half and the front half of a 4cyl manual diff it will be to long. but its ok if you use a 6cyl manual front half (as the 6cyl man front half is 25mm shorter just like the linkages) does everyone agree that the 6cyl engines sit 25mm further back in the engine bay than a 4cyl??? as bmw made them like that to keep the weight split closer to 50/50 . the getrag boxes are all the same length , so see what happens for yourself when you use the 4cyl linkages. have installed more than 20 of these kits . including a few into e36 328i ,318ti 328ti etc z3 2.8L etc always the same way.

maybe they where swapped for 6cyl ones before you got them , as the 4cyl ones are different part numbers between 316i,318i 318is 318ti vs 320i 323i 325i etc. all the 6cyl engines m20 m50 m52 m54 etc sit 25mm further back in the engine bay than the 4cyl m40 , m43 ,m42 ,m44 n42 etc engines. 4cyl ones http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111221540/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111222203/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111221544/ 6cyl ones http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111221541/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111221864/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111222019/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111221547/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111222664/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111222738/

if its 4cyl gear linkages you will need to change them for 6cyl 320i 323i 325i ones or get them cut and welded 25mm shorter . use the front half of the manual driveshaft mated to the rear half of the auto , when you swap a medium case e30 diff and axles into it. you might shorten the collar in the middle of the driveshaft so it can close up in length a little. some panel beating is required with a hammer to fit the larger diff in just so the rear cover clears the floor beam.

have deleted some , but I have put my email address and phone details above

not sure at this stage depends how many parts go with it etc what do you think its worth ?

hhhmmmmm need to double check may have something??

very nice

maybe a little ?

e36 bumper has the aero kit on the bottom half sold by bmw before the motorsport /m3 ones came out will take it and maybe the m5 bumpers

what year is it ?? , the abs modules all fail on the later ones , I get them repaired all the time , if the the ecus have had water near them , they might be toast . long cranking , some time cam sensor or maf etc .

have a X5 parts car about to go off to scrap if you want to check it out has the split tail gate system , I only have the bottom half on the car now

wheels and badges , side stickers , and some rear lip , anyone can buy those and stick them on. common practice in japan

you can apply for black plates on older cars

maybe to buy this one
