will this go gentlemen? mate is breaking his 323 and it has discs on the back, will his axle swap with my 320 (325) ????? and could anyone shed any light on his diff if its likely to be lsd inside? dont mind if not, but the rear disc conversion could be free if they will swap over!

axle is a straight fit fella as far as i remember
the rear calipers etc are same as a 325i

the diff is different and may not be the best for your car

as for being lsd that was optional

so test it before you buy

well mine is startin to grumble after any prolonged time over the ton so it might be worth a swap while we are doing it to see if its any better, not gonna take much more time whilst we are at it all and if its no better nothing lost.

and for free, you really cant grumble no, so thats the rears sorted out, just agreed to a set of wilwood four pots for the front, so i think its gonna be quite a different car when the day comes that it is all swapped over! lol, i cant wait, shame its me bate ben who has just bought the 2.7 engine and the turbo conversion for his cabbie! i think he should fit it to mine to test it, so at least he can stop it, than pu tit in his later! lol, yeah right!

cheers guys, have another brewskie for me!
