ntaylor90 10 Report post Posted November 7, 2013 Hello everyone I just want a quick yay or nay. I've had a look around but can't seem to find a definite answer. I am wondering if I can take the gearing out of my 325is diff and put into my 318ti diff. Some out there say it's a direct replacement, some say not compatible.

I fitted a medium case 3.15 : 1 with LSD & the larger 325i MS axles. There are a few mods to do to do this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ntaylor90 10 Report post Posted November 7, 2013 Hey buddy, thanks for the reply. I am correct in assuming the e36 diff is not just a 'bolt in' to the ti, but the e30 is? How did you manage that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
