What'd you do to your BMW today?

Recommended Posts

I'd like to see the M5 tackle that course

I got some vids of the auto x, much tighter and smaller courses.

replaced the large case 3.91 lsd for a medium case 3.91 lsd ,

in the e28 m535i should free up some ponies.

new clutch thrust bearing , slave cylinder ,

replaced the brake bomb with a new one, bleed the brakes etc , check all fluids etc

swapped out the e36 328i m3 gearlever for a z3 1.9L one , mucher nicer and puts the gearlever back to where is should be.

brakes feel much quicker now ,\

cars pulls stronger , going for a dyno run tomorrow to check it out etc .

anyone what a fully serviced tight as 3.91 large case diff :)

So you pulled out the tuffer, lsd diff for a smaller non lsd? Does not compute!

Less parasitic loss through less mass in 188mm diff vs 210mm. Comes at the sacrifice of strength but I don't imagine he'll be looking to feed 750hp & 650lb/ft of torque through it so it shouldn't matter :)

both are lsd's 3.91 ratio's

^ He used a LSD but I don't understand why medium case is better than large case... ?

e28's e24' e34's etc used both large and medium case diffs depending on the market , engine power etc

the large one weighs heaps about 45kg vs 37kg

And how do more ponies become available?

less rotating mass , like having smaller wheels etc

my thoughts too, seen plenty of v8 and turbo powered e30's still using med case diffs.

might be pushing it a bit

but kayne barrie reckons they can take quite a bit upto 400hp etc

so will see how this one survives

i mean the old school v8 guys rave on about a ford 9" diff , well a bmw large case diff is 8.5" and the medium case are 7.5"

and have you seen the stupid small diffs they fit in turbo subaru's , nissans etc

Made a sound generating device inside the cabin from a feed tapped into the intake resonator box.

Needs refining but I could see it been a cool feature to switch on and off for a sportier experience.

Yes. But this is what it looks like:

Haha! Good answer.

I just saw, in Brents quote above, the same text is "highlighted". It's like when it's part of a search term. Must be some background thing.

Added an aux input to factory system. Hooked in to the tape feed at back of head unit. Is a bit lower level than CD and radio tho. Still, good to have all my sounds back!

Waterpump and new alt/air-con belts while I was in there.

I empathize with anyone else having to undertake this task on an M60 by themselves as well. I don't think I've owned another car whereby your tools are so easily lost down the nooks and crannies of the engine bay.

The 2" 3/8 drive extension with 10mm socket lost under the engine management/computer/electronics box at left rear of an e34 engine bay had me howling some filthy language. I mastered the two fingered long-nose pliers operation like a brain surgeon in the end though... :-/
