Are diffs from the E34 interchangeable with the e30 ?? Or do the two models use the same diffs anyway??

E34 520i diff same as which E30 . etc ,etc.

Hi matey, been a while !

I'm pretty sure that they are interchageable, but iirc the rear cover needs changing for an E30 cover as the rear mounting is a different type.

Cheers,
