I think you will find the whining is from the straight cut gearset (mmm sequential too), not the diff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVLE30 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2007 I agree, all the world rally cars make the same noise (due to straight cut gears) That 320 has the engine from Johnny Reids French Touring 320i in it. And yes it is the gearbox, a more interesting fact is that the gears must be replaced after every 2nd race due to wear. i have a DVD at home on BMW race cars (starts from the early 3.0 CSL Le mans car till now) and this exact video is on it. it also has another one of the car at another Dutch track, and he is hitting upwards of 320-330km/ph. another one is Hans Muller's Works M3GTR round the nurburgring, racing a GT1 Porsche. its a sight to see, especially when the GTR gets sideways.' Check it out its called Bavarian Speed: BMW Race Cars 1972 - 2006 its all in German but is subtitled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
