    E36 M3 LSD rear end into non M3

    I've been asked to ask this question as I've never done this before myself. Putting a M3 evo rear end inc LSD into a 325i engined E36, what prop set up do you need to us. He has a complete M3 prop shaft but can't make one out of the M3 and 325i props.

    Must be difficult to make a custom prop considering it must be perfectly balanced.

    DSA in carnew, co. wicklow is the best lad around for making shafts. Makes custom shafts for any car, and is that anal about balancing them that he rechecks and balance's them AFTER painting them, incase the paint has thrown them out of true.

    Good to know. Carnew is about 10 mins from me! Maybe able to help somehow as a result if needed?
    This is my BMW. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My BMW is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My BMW, without me, is useless. Without my BMW, I am useless. I must drive my BMW true......
