    Dave, it was in the link I posted. You'll need the first half of your prop and then the rear half will need to be a 6 pot one to bolt up correctly.

    If I recall correctly Dean on here had an m3 diff in his 318is when he had it. I recall him saying it was a tight squeeze but it fits. There is no cutting required.
