Hi all,

Took a differential I just bought apart to replace internals with LSD, (its a 3.91 in a large casing) and bent the speed sensor wheel out of shape in the process.

Does anyone know:

a) if i can use the speed sensor wheel out of a small casing diff from a 1989 320i which I have, i.e. are there different sizes of wheel or different numbers/sizes of teeth on the wheels of different diffs? or;

b) where i can source a new speed sensor wheel?

Cheers

small and medium case ones are different.
if BMW can't help you, drop me a PM as i can whip one off a spare diff i have here.
they are easy enough to straighten though
