any ideas guys ?
the one on the right
I know it's a large case from like a 7 series or a big 5 series but year model it has the same bolt up patten as the 188 medium case on e30s

looks like an early e32/e34 diff as it has the cv type input shaft flange. e28's used this diff but had the 4 bolt input flange like e30's.
