Hi all
Can somebody answer the following if poss please or i'll be posting numerous 1 question threads all night lol

What ratio is a 93 318i Lux manual diff? And is the cwp the same size as the item in a 325??

Is the gearbox from the above car the same as a 325i item or totally different?

What is the best ratio lsd to use for an M30'd touring 3.6 or 3.9?

Where can i get the engine brackets for mounting the M30 into the touring and how much?

What is the bit i need to change in the dash pod to convert from 4 cyl to 6cyl for the rev counter etc to function correctly and would this item from an E34 fit and work in the E30??

I have seen a few E30's on here with 5 stud hubs. What are these from?? E36? and what is involved in changing them????

That'll do for now any help appreciated and sorry for being a pest lol

I think ones a small case dif and the other will be a large case so i'm not sure you could swap the internalls around. You want a large case dif because the small case carn't handle the M30 torque.

Assuming you will be using a non-dog leg g/box and standard sized wheels/tyres you want a 3.6 or a 3.46

Hi cheers for your reply
I was going to use the box from the e34 donor car that the engine is coming out of i assume this is ok?
I'll source a large case lsd then and yes standard sized rims will be used.
