hi ya. i've just spent ages on the etk looking for the diff crownwheel. preferably for the m3. my cunning plan was to just buy the 3.25 ratio crownwheel and bolt it on to a normal lsd to change the gearing without buying a complete m3 diff. unfortunately i can find everything but so heres the challenge. can you find it on the etk? first person with a working partnumber. i'll buy you a pint :beer:

Think if you manage to track down a different ratio crown wheel, you'll need the matching pinion too cos the two won't mesh otherwise (I don't think)
