Hi Dave

the only case covers i can find close are

1210431 E30 M3 which is the TYP 188
1210434 E28 5series and E24 6series
1210437 E23 7series

I will email BMW and see if they can cross ref. it but they will need a chassis number

Thanks

I don't have anymore info other than it came with a 75% LSD from Moseley motorsports.
That's all the info i got when i acquired it

Could it have been a BMW Motorsport item?
