All these diff ratios confuse me
I need to know What's best diff for me to fit in the e36, I prefer acceleration over top end speed ,
I'm still running small case Diff so what exactly do I need and is the 3.0 m3 did the best one? I presume I need diff , side shafts and prop to gearbox ??
Thnks
What engine do you have?
M52 2.5 Dave with few mods on it
I'm sure a 328 would be the best ratio wise we've one in work for very reasonable money too with side shafts
if get M3 diff ,will need diff flanges from any other medium case diff but non M3 ,all 3 of them. 328i diff has 2.93 ratio so its not good if U looking for more sharp acceleration . To fit medium case if U have now small one,need side shafts and prop shaft .what engine was in car before conversion? 320i ? so ratio should be 3.45 or 3.88 .Should be best option U could have with engine U have now.
Thanks for replies , valdas it originally 320 so small case diff in it, is it possible to find one of these in LSD? Thanks again
i have medium in 3.46
3.46 would be a good ratio for you. Get the half shafts and prop also.
Thanks for the info
Acceleration ? up into the 4's for you then. Be some hog but be minty quick
You mean a 4.44 diff ratio?Quote:

you's have just confused me even more now, still thinking about a 328 lsd but nit decided, need someone to let me try their car first :-)
Going to try fit a 3.15 to mine while its sitting up, more than welcome to drive it if it worksQuote:
