    E46 m3 LSD and 3.62 gears

    The LSD is from a 50k car.
    I have taken it apart and can confirm normal wear and nothing should cause an issue.

    The cwp and ring gear are from a 2002 m3 diff which was replaced under warranty at some point after 2002. This is a different m3 to what the LSD came out of.

    I cannot guarantee that the above is perfect because I haven't tried them for my self.

    I was sworn that the LSD is perfect. The cwp and ring gears came from the diff that made noise but it's uncertain where this noise was coming from.

    150 takes the lot.

    If separated the LSD is worth 100 to me

    When you say LSD is that a complete differential or just the friction plates and viscous shear pump unit? I might take this off you. Don't need the gear set though.

    It's just the carrier not the whole diff. The pumpkin as some call it. So yes the viscous pump and friction plates and steels and side gears etc.
    .I have removed the races so it's ready to press on new bearings. I would recommend getting some oil into the LSD as i put it back together with little oil as i was using the good oil for my other LSD that i built up simultaneously.

    Alright so it seems the two of you want this.

    I'd rather unload the lot so i cant tell if gpmotorworks wants the lot or just the LSD. Eoin wants just the LSD.

    So Eoin do you want them both for 150? If not I'll have to let gpmotorworks have it.

    I'll give eoin first refusal because he asked first. let me know asap other wise I will get in touch with Gpmotorworks

    Hi Mark. Sorry about the awkward situation. Only saw the other posts after I posted my message.

    I don't actually need the LSD to be honest. Was just interested in taking it apart to see what way the viscous pump etc. are set up.

    So you can let GpMotorworks have it if you want.
