I am not sure what he did, there is no difference between the case on an e28 and an e30, only the rear cover. This should not effect the output flanges.
But isn't there a difference between the E28 output flanges and E30 flanges? Tony said if you want to upgrade to E30 axles, you gotta use the E30 flanges.? right? Thought the cases are the same, are the flanges different?
The hole pattern on the E28 flanges are not the same as the E30 flanges. Use either 318ti flanges with 318ti halfshafts or E30 flanges with E30 halfshafts.

dang really? I was under the impression that they were balls to the wall hard. Looking forward to it. I've got my hands on a 325e axle, and a 325i axle. They are quite different. I am trying to get a hold of a second 325i axle because thats what Jean is running, and it works for him. In the mean time, I'll have to find matching 325i flanges as well, I guess?
The pics will be back up on the 28th this month, otherwise, just right click on the non-displaying image, copy the address of the image, then paste it into a separate browser window. Otherwise, send me a pm, so when i get home, i can put you together a small DIY manual via MSword.
