I wont be home til then. but when I get around to it you guys will get tons of pics for the E30 Diff/Ti Flange/ Shaft setup. No need to get the E30 pics since everyone else is already doing that. | | | | | 07-14-2008, 09:05 PM | #51 | | Member Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Exeter, NH Posts: 52 |
If it helps at all I have an 1992 (pre-vanos) M50 swap in my E30 with the 1992 E36 getrag going to a 1994 325i E36 driveshaft into a 2000 MZ3 3.23 LSD which then bolted straight up into my 1991 318i (euro E30) axles.
Based on what I am reading that people are doing you should be able to pick up most diffs to bolt up into these cars.
I haven't been under the car yet (tomorrow and thursday) and I'll make it a point to look at the diff - want to know what is on my car anyways - and I'll look at the out put flanges... See what I can see. | | | | | 01-06-2010, 08:51 PM | #52 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: NYC Posts: 134 |
so i am buying an e30 2.93 lsd which comes with the output shafts.. how do i bolt it up as per FATHER's methods? do i need a diff cover from the e30 or does the e30 diff cover bolt up? also, the output shafts works from the TI, as well as the E30, therefore i dont even have to remove the shafts from the axle? i can simply bolt it right up? | | | | | 01-31-2010, 07:39 AM | #53 | | Member Join Date: Dec 2009 Location: State Collage, PA Posts: 58 |
Okay, I'm seeing ALOT of confusion right now as I am confused myself, so I'ma see if I can understand this
E30 Diff is Direct Bolt
Ti Drive Shaft also Direct Bolt
E36 Half Shaft/Output Shaft Will bolt to E30 Diff
E30 Half Shaft/Output Shaft (obiously) Bolt to E30 Diff + Rear Hub = E30? OR E30 Half Shaft Direct fit to E36 Hubs??
E30 Hubs Do not Change brake/rotor/wheel assemblies (IE E36 Rear disc + Caliper fit E30 hub)
Just courious... as I may consider the swap...
and what years might i find a 2.XX LSD Diff? | | | | | 01-31-2010, 07:53 AM | #54 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |

oh no... how much trunk floor modding is required? and will it be "notice able" inside
and what about the E30 halfshafts to the E36 hubs? | | | | | 01-31-2010, 08:34 AM | #56 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
it's not too bad, you just need to hammer out one of the supports to clear a bolt on top of the case | | | | | 01-31-2010, 08:47 AM | #57 | | Member Join Date: Dec 2009 Location: State Collage, PA Posts: 58 |
Noticable after install? Ja? Nein?
Intgetraty <sp?) after "mod"?
Also the E30 Half Shat WILL fit the Stock E36 hubs?

it doesn't bubble up the truck floor inside or anything, as for structural integrity I don't think I know of anyone who's had problems after doing that | | | | | 01-31-2010, 08:07 PM | #59 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
