Hi I am looking for a replacement rear diff for my 2002 320td Compact Manual and i was just wondering if all 320td rear diffs with a gear ratio of 2.35 will fit as there are a fair few around for the saloon and tourer but not the compact. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

As title says, I'm trying to find out which, if any, of the Z4 models have LSD's fitted as standard. Considering buying one but want a model with an LSD. Thanks in advance.

Evening all, Firstly, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Charlie, and I've recently bought my first Bimmer, a 2001 330i M Sport Touring. Loving it so far, but there are a couple of things that need sorting, hence the post. Firstly, can someone please confirm the correct wheel and tyre sizes as...
