1. What type of transmission? (auto/manual, Getrag, ZF, etc.)
Stock automatic for now, but there's an S50 on an engine stand over in the corner, and a ZF 5spd in storage.

2. Drive shaft came from what year & model car?
Stock 4 cylinder auto.

3. Diff. ratio?
4.10:1

4. Diff. case size?
Medium

5. Diff. was taken from what year & model car?
1989 M3

6. What type of diff. cover?
E30 M3

7. Diff. cover was taken from what year & model car?
1989

8. Output flanges were from what year & model car?
1995 318ti. With the inner metal flanges removed to match E30 M3 setup. If you don't remove these (1 on each side) they will destroy your inner seal. Shorter length isn't a problem with stock power as the splines have plenty engagement into planetary gears.

9. Half-shafts were taken from what year & model car?
1995 318ti.

10. What modifications did you have to do?
Had to hammer the unibody structural brace above and behind where the differential's upper bolts and vent tube would make contact. Only had to move it rearward about 1/2". Also did a little cosmetic molding to it to maintain a somewhat stock look. The later years which saw the 323ti do not need this done.

11. Have you had any issues with this combination?


12. Misc. Notes
