    Default A few diffs FS...323LSD, 373, 410 open + more

    Guys,

    I've got some diffs FS, trying to make some Xmas $$$$ to get Rig Jr some nice "em-bee-dubble" stuff.

    3.23:1 LSD from '92 525i - $350 shipped
    3.23:1 Open from '94 530iT- $285 shipped
    3.73:1 Open from '90 525i- $285 shipped
    4.10:1 Open from '89 525i- $285 shipped

    4.27:1 Open from '92 735i- ***SOLD***

    2.93:1 Open from '94 540i- $285 shipped
    3.15:1 LSD from '90 750iL- ***SOLD***

    All diffs guaranteed to be quiet + in good working order. "Shipped" price covers continental USA shipping only- I'll be glad to ship to other areas, for some extra $$$$.

    Thanks!

    Bret.

    ...perhaps with a demonstration! Like that "em-bee-dubble" thing. My son, when asked where his car is, points to the 318iS. When asked where Mommy's car is, he points to the 525. When asked about Daddy's, he points to the Explorer. At least he has his priorities straight...

    As for the Model A, he just calls it "oogah" after the sound the horn makes.

    i REALLY need one in good shape. Mine is starting to howl pretty bad. I have a '93 525i with a 3.23 LSD now, I could possibly do something a little higher, but i do quite a bit of highway driving, so im not sure if i want to stray away from the stock setup. do you have the 3.23 LSD still available? If so, what kind of condition

    on the subject of diffs, ne1 driven a 535 Auto with a 3.91(early 1990) compared to a 4.27(late 1990 on) and can share some real life opinions on the difference. Looks good on paper and honestly mine is quite a dog from stand-still (3.91) and the 4.27 for sale looks like a great deal. I assume it is a direct swap, though it is from a 7 series.

    Default not a direct bolt in...

    the 5 series 6 cyl and 530 are interchangeable whereas the 540 and 7 serieis use the bigger differentials.

    Billy,
    I too have the 1990 535iA with the 3.91lsd and did notice a difference when I test drove a 1991 535iA probably with a 4.27. This was when I was shopping for an E34 and before I knew much about the diffs. That '91 did seem to roar out of the on-ramps a bit quicker, but that car had too much neglect so I got the '90. The 4.27 for sale is supposedly an open vs. limited slip, so that would be another thing to consider before purchasing. In my case, adding the EAT chip made a nice difference with acceleration for now. I would also be interested in other's experiences on just this differential topic with our 535's.

    Starting late in the 1990 model run they changed to the 4.27 on the automatics, mine is a 10-89 build date and has the 3.91, is that diff a direct swap? Anybody know for sure?
    Thanks

    and yes it did make a big difference, especially in the upper revs, but from a standstill my car is quite sluggish, open or LSD does not matter to me for this car. (hey, it IS an automatic)
