I have the M62 engine, it says its a E34 so it all should be okay.
Want to make youre 8 go faster!

The only E34 differential that fits is from the 1991 M5
The side flanges of that year M5 were threaded with a fine pitch rather than the coarse pitch used on every other BMW of the era.
If you can find the bolts at one of the main dealer$ then the M5 flanges will work. But the side flanges just pop out wit a bit of strategically applied pressure. Much easier to just swap them.
The front flange is another question mark. If the bolt-hole pattern is the same as the 8 and I believe it is, don't fool with the nut inside. That is the preload that sets gear lash by crushing a washer to a certain thickness controlled by torque applied during initial assembly. There is a special procedure to reset it if the nut is removed.

That makes good sense Terry,.
I told the workshop guy when i dropped the car off that both flanges & backplate will need swoping over , i guess they forgot, saw that they were different & ordered new

Sorry to have misled anyone with the E34 story.
to clarify, E34 uses several different types of diff.
The 210mm ring gear model, as required for e31, comes from the M5 and 4/4.4 V8 NOT the smaller V8 3.0/3.5.
Front yoke should be the same as 840 but larger than 850
cheers

OK, own up, who is p-4-p ???
I was winning this auction with 12secs remaining. If the guy pulls out and I get second chance he can whistle for it. There's a phrase for ebayers who use the bidding programs to win with less than 10secs remaining, but I will not use it on here. It is physically impossible to place 4 bids, and hence beating my winning price in 10secs.
Saved me a trip to London, with CC, and the cost of fitting it. BUT that's not the point. Gonna get my ECU remapped now instead for the same money.
Cheers, not.

Tony , i dont want to tell you i told you so, but you know my thoughts on remaps with no other mods
Keep your money in your pocket dude
-
I know I know...... just still reeling from this ! prob just a rebound thought about the re-mapping. think I'll just drive round in S Mode for a week......
-
OR...just get a 6 speeder V12!!!
-
ha ha Les, don't think the £500 will stretch to that !
-
Not to rub salt or anything.....
I only paid £125 for my 3.91. Keep an eye out for one that is breaking or being broken on ebay.co.uk and ebay.de....
I saw plenty there.... Should have bought them
I have personally beaten people with 2 seconds to go just by sitting there with 2 windows open. One with the confirm bid section and the other with the description page, refreshing the later every second counting down from about 30 sec...
I am such a sad b4$t4rd!!
I should not have let my secret out. Shall we just keep it between ourselves chaps.
-
How much did it go for
-
£256.99
Hey Steve, You gonna buy some decent deep dished wheels yet or what.
-
at 12secs to go it was 185 quid which I thought was reasonable. I had a max bid of 250 though just because they dont come up that much and the last time I saw one it went for 220, I just had an expensive month so didnt bother bidding.
For this guy to win he must have put in 255 plus to get me on first attempt, which is such i hike over the 185 that it make me think something must be afoot !!! So, I shall be 'watching' this site for people boasting about their new aquisition, or asking for help in fitting it

I like the ones you've highlighted , I've just got a e34 540 touring thats crying out for some big rims
Watch this space

You've been drinking again haven't you.... Steve....
WRONG POST....
Spare engine for the 8....
-
Drinking YES as always, but running out of things to do to the 8
Just had the engine rebuilt!!! i know , but i got talked into it, honest
Now i think it's nearly perfect
stripped down & fitted with Wiseco forged pistons & Hartge profiled Cams, all new gaskets so no more oil stains
Shall be running in for 1000 miles & then thats it no more to spend on this baby
hence the need to work on something else BMW
