    Default wow, it never stops.

    So, I'm doing the class to class shuffle, I hop in my car throw it into reverse

    SHERRRKKKKKKKKKSCHREEESHDSLJKF:LDSJF:LJS (from the rear or the car)

    I kill the engine and go look under the rear axle and I see differential fluid and metal bits and bolts under the car.

    Awesome. Am I the only one? Has this happened to anyone else?

    I didn't even try to drive it. I knew exactly what the #*%&(* was happening down there. Sure enough, coming off the tow truck, the rear wheels locked up and the car slid down the incline. Oh, my muffler still sounds like *%&*# and my car runs like doodoo. I hate myself. I hate my car.

    Oh and who ever says post + username, diaf, its not even funny anymore.

    Um... I don't know what "post + username" means, but where are you located? I have two 535 diffs for spare parts that ought to be able to help you get back on the road.

    Nope, I drove it normally, I'm not hard on it at all.


    Would that shred the rear differential?

    I have a differenital here I'd give you for pennies, but its a 3.23 open from a 525i with a flange from a m20 auto trans car, shipping would probably be more than its worth if it even fit
