BMW E92 335i QUAIFE LSD install
Ill post few photos and do write up about this upgrade so Peter could copy this to his own thread about his new toy :wink:
Car - BMW E92 335i automatic
QUAIFE LSD unit
Diff side shaft seals
Mobil 1 75W90 fully synthetic gear oil
Loctite 270 for crown gear bolts
BMW gasket sealant for diff back cover and few hours of work
Diff removed from the car , only with help of "smallest" spanner in my garage , i believe in many others garages is one of the smallest as well :happy:
