What is the production month/year of the 318ti that this is going into?
1995, not sure of month

What type of transmission?
getreg 5 speed

Drive shaft came from what year & model car?
stock 95 318ti driveshaft

Diff. ratio
4.10

Diff. case size
Medium case

Diff. was taken from what year & model car?
taken from an e30 m30, not sure of year

What type of diff. cover?
stock diff cover

Diff. cover was taken from what year & model car?
n/a

Output flanges were from what year & model car?
stock output flanges, they were already on the diff, the kid said he pulled it out of the e30 m and didnt take anything off of the diff just changed the fluid.

Half-shafts were taken from what year & model car?
bought a brand new pair of 89 e30 rear axles

What modifications did you have to do?
had to notch a beam that blocked the diff from mounting To the car. The upper most bolts were hitting the beam. Less than a 1/4 in deep and 6 in long piece was cut out.

Have you had any issues with this combination?
Car runs great, the cv boots seem to rub against the suspension, not sure how to solve that problem yet, thoughts?

Misc. Notes
The stock bolts that connect the axles to the diff were to short for the new axles and diff, the bolts that came with the new axles were to long and to wide to fit through the duel bolt washers (dont know their technical name, sorry) that go between the bolts and the axles. So we had to go to a junk yard and pull axle bolts and duel bolt washers out of a e36 328i. With that hardware we could bolt everything up no problem. Any e36 non m should have the correct hardware.
