Re: 318i diff in a 325i

My intital worry was that it wouldn't be strong enough and that there would be X,Y,Z parts that i'd have to buy and fit to make it work. Now, i'm torn....do i weld it and fit it as an experiment? Or Buy it, keep it with all my spares and weld the current one? It's one i'm mulling over. The sensible ...

Duke- Thanks for the help mate Barx-oooh, good stuff! Thanks, i'll have a look now, not interested in top end, acceleration and a lively back end is all i want...i've been told mine has a closer ratio 'box in it??

I've encountered purists in a...

Re: 318i diff in a 325i

Destroying it was my biggest worry....might have to go back to the drawing board, or just pull the current one out and weld that. Ideally i want a fit and forget job.

318i diff in a 325i

Hi guys, probably been asked a million times but i've searched and can't find anything.

Will a 318i diff fit a 325i?

Any issues, pitfalls, problems?

I want to get the 318i diff welded up and i prefer to have my 325i one open for when i want to swap them back and forth.

Cheers
