Auction!!!!

Yes ma'am, from my old M5

Thing is though, I cant remember which diff it is.. The M5 I bought had water damage at one point, and I remember there was a very slight whine coming from the rear end. I bought one off ebay and I cant remember if I actually swapped the diffs or not. I did a fluid flush on the engine/trans/diff and the whine disappeared. For the life of me I simply cant remember if I swapped the diffs or not

Anyone got a car we could test fit this to and verify if its good or not?

[REKIII]

I have an M5, but a diff swap is a huge pain in the ass. I have a dinan one hanging under mine and I'd gladly swap out an engine before changing that again.

IIRC the exhaust has to come off, I remember taking mine off and couldn't believe how friggin heavy that thing was!

Can it swap into an e39 540i? I imagine if you didn't have to remove an exhaust it'd be a 3-4hr job tops.

** answered my own question; requires some driveshaft swapping as well.. Any ideas how to check if this diff makes noise w/o installing it on a car?

Turn it really fast. Like with a bench grinder, or an air wrench.

[Ryan...]

I suppose that would work, I might have an air wrench at home..

[mystere30]

yes it can fit on a 540i. which is actually why i ask cause my brother wants one for his 540. do you at least know for sure if its LSD? if so....how much cause my brother may want it.

[Ryan...]

yeah they're all LSD, lemme find out for sure that its an M5 diff

[mystere30]

yeeee...and..also...would it come with axles and hubs?? or just the diff. let me know ry guy.

[Ryan...]

Its just the diff, the only piece of the M5 I still have! I'm gonna be tossing it up on CL for $500 obo, prices on Ebay are consistently $700+ but mine will need new seals and a fluid swap fo sho.

I also found an M3 rear sway bar and an aftermarket e36 M spoiler in the shed lol

I won't be able to make it up=\ My brother is coming over with his wife and my niece to celebrate my birthday from Thursday:)
