I'm planning on putting the LSD from my old Sport on my 325i Touring.

Do I need to change the drive shafts too?

Anything else I might need to do/consider?

Cheers!

The driveshafts can stay on, they're all the same except abs/non abs.

Cheers,

Patience, anger, gloves, a foul mouth, and some hard drugs to calm you down after you finish.

having said that after i changed my diff the second time it wasnt too bad cos everything was clean/not as stiff

good luck soldier!
