You mean 325i?

I have a good diff available. 2.93 ratio. Pulled from an 06 325i.

^2.93? not sure if its possible on 325i

325i 328i 323i diffs are as follows 3.23 3.73

3.36 3.93 ( for XI ) - different sized pimpkin & rear bearings on knuckles

So will this fit 2006 325i?if so how much do you want for the diff. how many km on it also does it make bearing noises?

The car i am working on is 2006 323i. with a 3.73.

I just pick up a 2006 325i with a 3.23.

two problems
1)output shafts don't line up Different bolt sizes
2)the input shaft from 2006 325i is .5 of a inch longer

I tried to swap output shafts but it will not work the ones from the 325i are longer.

Please help with your thoughts.

2) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...4&l=e456ee55a2 3 inch long (325i)

The only way is to buy the part to replace the parts in it. It needs a new input bearing.
