Diff choice with m52 box

[lady-lumps]

I'm running a M52 engine and Box.

Car currently has a standard 318 manual diff no idea of the ratio,

Would a 3.07 be ok?

I've been offered one for a M535 (I am aware you have to swap over the back plate)


Thanks in advance.

Perfect,

thanks for your help.

All M535i have large case 3.07 LSD's. E28 525e come with a 3.07 open diff as standard. Medium case differentials only found on the E28 520, 525i, 525e and 528i.

528i with a dogleg box have 3.25:1 LSD. 2.93:1 and 2.73:1 diff are available from the U.S and Germany from E28 525e/528e car with a manual box.

That is a large 210 diff, will not fit an E30 rear beam

I am in no rush as I still have alot todo before I even think about the diff.
