BM WORLD 1264 Report post Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Will a e34 535is 210 (large case, 8 bolt) LS 3.64 diff bolt straight into my 3.2 e36 M3? Would I need to change/mod anything or swap anything over? i think similer but front bolt mounting system is different rear covers need to be swapped also 540i and 740i diff have the same input flange as the m3 diff band some 535i have a smaller 4 bolt flange to suit a uni joint not a CV see pics here https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/full/307979620.jpg Edited May 22, 2014 by Brent HARTGE535i 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted May 25, 2014 Thanks Brent. A couple more questions, I'm quite ignorant on this subject: * If the front mount is different could I just swap the internals? * What does the rear cover do and why would one need to swap them? * Would I be losing any "evolution" by using an older different or is the technology (circa 1989 vs 1997) just the same? Internals can be swapped but it's not really a DIY job. Rear cover also houses the mounting bushes, I'd be pretty surprised if the carriers & mounts are the same between E34-36. as far as I'm aware all BMW diffs are clutch pack designs so to the best of my understanding the tech is the same. I did a whole heap of digging around on the topic while researching my options for fitting a medium case limited slip to my 325i. Holden LS pumpkins are possibly able to work as they used zf units very similar to the ones supplied to BMW but I never got to find out if they are in fact the same unit. Quite possibly use different crown wheel bolt patterns but they're often cheap enough to make it viable to buy one to open up & take some measurements 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIA. One resource that helped me get my head round the topic was realoem. The exploded diagrams lead to a few 'Eureka' moments for me, anyway. Especially around why x diff casing won't fit y models 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wooooobbbbb 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2014 Bmw 318i e46 2002 Hey guys idk if this has been asked or what not but uhmm my engine light came on off the dash. Ive done some research, and yes, it lit up after gassing it up. Tried to tightening it up and all but the light is still there. Has this happened to any of you guys here? No sign of power loss or any leakage. But then you can never be too sure. P.s. Bmw noob so any help will be much appreciated thank you.

handgrenade 189 Report post Posted May 27, 2014 I have just installed a new wiring harness for my angel eyes. Before, they turned on with my park lights. The new harness controls the angel eyes directly from the 12v power source in the engine bay (the box with the red plus on it). the harness has a relay and a fuse and two trigger wires. when the trigger wires are sent a 12v signal, the relay trips and allows power through to the angel eyes. I have used a fuse tap on the fuel pump relay to access a constant 12v signal when the car is running - meaning the angel eyes run as daytime running lights. I then routed the second trigger wire through to the drivers footwell interior light. So the angel eyes fade on and off when I unlock/lock the car with my key fob. This worked fine for a while but then I started continuing blowing the interior lights fuse (which in turn stops my rear park lights and license plate lights from working and also my instrument cluster). The set up works fine until I switch the headlight switch (on the right) to park or low beam (HID kit). I've tried disconnecting the second trigger to the footwell light, still blows the fuse, thought the short could be coming from somewhere else, so have checked boot lid wiring .. no luck. Brake lights work so it isn't dangerous. Am I overloading the park light circuit? if I can't get this to work, I'm going to have to convert it back to the original set up and just deal with no daytime running lights (unless with headlights in park mode) and no connection to the interior fadein/fadeout. Any info, much appreciated. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aja540i 1903 Report post Posted May 27, 2014 If i read that right you haven't connected to the park light cicuit anywhere so i can't see why that would be overloading the fuse. Might pay to check all your lights, earths, switch etc and make sure there isnt another issue. Good luck, i hate chasing electrical gremlins! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

handgrenade 189 Report post Posted May 28, 2014 I dont think I can help,but I am intrigued with the "it worked for a while then I started continuing" No changes during the initial working phase? What does started continuing mean? When I come to think about it .. I think after I wired up the angel eye harness to fuel pump fuse and interior lights, I never used my HID (switched parklights etc on) - never drove it at night after that point. No whenever I run the parking lights (use the headlight switch) I blow fuse 33 and 37. I will pull the fuse from the angel eye harness to remove draw from the parking lights circuit and see if I still blow fuses. Otherwise I am going to set up a SPDT relay on both angel eyes and trigger daytime mode vs night mode, might even use a twilight switch if I can be bothered wiring that in .. running lights (angel eye harness during the day), then as soon as ambient light drops below a point, the relays will switch over to normal angel eye + HID and disconnect from park light circuit .. hope it works. i drew out a wiring diagram on a whiteboard but now its time to wrap my head around a 5pin input relay with two throws.

handgrenade 189 Report post Posted May 28, 2014 SPDT set up done .. ran out of time so I haven't wired the internal switch yet. but its okay, the SPDT neutral switch is the original angel eyes set up. It is only when I put in a 12v signal that it switches to the running lights/interior light lock set up A lot of trouble for DRL but we'll see. Learnt a lot about wiring and used solder and heatshrink like a good proper job! haha. i just need more fuses now I think . . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
