AN E30 Fan 1 Report post Posted September 8, 2010 I wonder what he was doing with it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) I wonder what he was doing with it... Reverse at full throttle.... then drop it into drive at full throttle.... you should try it....its fun .... but very expensive. We can't even get the half shafts out to strip it completely because the splines are twisted inside the side gears.

We can't even get the half shafts out to strip it completely because the splines are twisted inside the side gears. An idiot school mate of mine attempted to do this in an E23 728i.... He blew the living sh*t out the transmission. I wonder how much this is gonna sting them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 The joys of being a servicing agent... What model E46 was it? 328 Auto... I won't say anymore to identify the vehicle... the owner might be on here.... cars all repaired for now... trans seems to be fine ATM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 I wonder how much this is gonna sting them It wasn't to bad actually... 2nd hand 3.46:1 diff, new oil and a new rear diff mount Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 I would've thaught a 328i auto would have more than enough power to do burnouts without reversing then dropping it into drive? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) I would've thaught a 328i auto would have more than enough power to do burnouts without reversing then dropping it into drive? True... but that doesn't account for the twisted side shaft splines. Foot on brake, accelorate, release brake, spin it up, won't do this sort of damage. Especially with an open diff Edited September 9, 2010 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
