BMW diff cover

Tue May 10, 2011 9:22 am

Hi can anyone tell me what diff cover i need to fit this LSD? i want to upgrade to a twin ear cover but the ones i can find here in Bahrain are for the small case diffs, with the language barrier to overcome at the parts shops i need to know exactly what car i want from diff cover from,

cheers guys!

a 325i e36 or 328i both have covers with twin ears on that will fit onto that diff casing, i'm sure you're aware but just in case your floor will need modifying to suit the twin i.e. both lugs are lower than the original one and in a different place.
hope this helps

Cheers Kevo, gone with plan B today as fed up wasting time driving round looking, so i cut the ear off this cover and started fabbing up a steel plate with 2 chassis bushing's to sit between the diff housing and alloy case, an added result is that it will allow the diff to carry more oil! will post some pics when i'm finished.
