I see that the E30 M3 diff is the same size as the 325 , is it the same as any others ?

I am building a spare 5:44 diff with a brand new motorsport LSD and need a donor diff unit to start with. Does anyone have a diff to sell , open one if poss

I have a 5:0-1 diff unit in the car now that feels a bit slack , as one wheel spins slightly coming out of bends , is there a plate kit to re-build it ?

Hi Ian,

Simon (M3compact) is the man to speak to regarding diffs.

Some good info here:

It would be worth sending Simon a PM if you have specific questions.

Cheers,

Ian.
