Just wanted to ask you about your rear diff. Did you use the m3 diff with sideshaft? Did you only change the cv joint to m3 or did you used the whole shaft? |

I am sorry for the topic hijack but i dont know where else to ask it.
I can buy a ''complete'' M3 DKG rear (about 60k) for a very good price. You can see the picture in my attachement. Can someone take a look at it and tell me what other parts i will need to make the swap complete? Thanks. |

I see a lot of posts referring to the 335i Auto prop shaft but I have a Manual 6 speed trans in my e92 335i. RealOEM shows my propshaft being 1471 / 1472mm in length and the Automatic Trans 335i having a 1472mm length propshaft.
The reason I ask is that I have already bought the M3 propshaft and wanted to know if I must buy an Auto 335i propshaft also or if my current propshaft on the car now will work to do the joining of the two M3 and 335i propshafts? Also, just so I am clear. With regards to the rear axles/driveshafts going out to the tires from the M3 diff. If I were to only replace my diff with an M3 diff then I would need the longer (according to realoem) M3 driveshafts going out to the 335i hub assemblies and even though the M3 shafts are longer they will fit into my hubs? Thanks!

Interesting thread. Has anyone fitted the M3 diff to their E81/82/87?
I can get the diff, both side shafts and half the driveshaft from a wrecked E92 M3, for a lot less than the Quaife LSD. What else do I need to do? Here is my thread: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...9#post17383479

Hi guys
I read whole thread several times. Someone wrote that it is able to use drive shaft from E38 740i AT, is this shaft plug and play or it need some custom work too? As far I read you need M3 diff, whole side drive shafts, many times I read about M3 sub-frame, is tis necessary? I think this is only to upgrade suspension or you need it for different bolts pattern for M3 diff? regards Mark |

I have done this swapmy self and all you need is the M3 Diff/Axles(half-shafts)/custom drive shaft.
YES IT WILL fit the 335i subframe as direct bolt on. REALLY EASY Swap! Last edited by JMARS; 04-08-2015 at 11:31 AM.. |

Obviously this needs to be done by a drivetrain specialist, then after welding the shaft is balanced. You need the m3 half shafts also, but I believe the M3 diff bolts into the non m3 subframe (its best if you can get the m3 subframe as most wreckers let them go for a small price and it has upgraded bushes) |
