Hi
after having no luck selling me sport
im gonna go with the m50 2.5 conversion.
my question is im getting the m50 with the 6 speed m3 gearbox
what do i do with the props.
can i use a e36 prop or does it have to be custom made for the m3 box.
will it still be cool to use my standard lsd or do i need to cahnge that too.

many thanks Hass

It should be custom, basically you need an e30 m3 prop or e36 328i manual prop which needs to be shortened by 7cm

If you send if off then they will balance it also

There is a thread in the m50 section

Costs about £100

Both these props have the larger guibo which you need to fit the GB output flange.

rumour has it an e36 m3 auto prop is a direct fit
M40 rightness if you can get to 6000rpm noone can hear your tappets

Sadly not. There is a thread about this in the m52 section I think

The nearest fit is an m40 auto prop from e30
