I have a few 5HP30 repair manuals and bits and pieces in PDF form I can email if you like.

I'd collected them from vague sources around the place.

ok so diff is sweatting horsepower (oil) so going with the Diff being the main issue, any one with some spares/advice?

will 6 cylinder fit? do I need an LSD of will any unit fit etc

[westy 614]

Dont think a leaky diff stops you using reverse?

[will 169]

Where is it leaking? Sideshafts or input?

How many bolts are there around the sideshaft flange, 6 or 8?

[BM WORLD 1264]

have a 540i diff if needed , but that wont fix your trans issue

[_ethrty-Andy_ 2122]

Is the diff locking up and not rotating backward or something??

[JoKer 58]

lets just say a BIG BaNG going round a right hand corner low speeds, then clunk clunk clunk clunk with wheel rotation tell be the oil leek isn't only a seal

if it is both things then car is scrap to me

spent 800 on wof / brakes in aug, then its shagged this month, could say that's slightly depressing

will count bolts shortly, being stranded without budget to either fix it or buy another runabout is really choice

[BM WORLD 1264]

std 540i is a large case 8 bolt diff , have one $200 and no a 6cyl diff wont bolt straight in .

some 535i etc use a 8 bolt diff , but have a different front flange
