Hey guys, this is my first post

Anyway, I have searched around a bit, and couldn't find any info on this, so, my question is, will the rear axle from a 2003 M3 fit into my 2004 320D?

Thanks

The me axle has an LSD, but I am not sure if it will work, thats why im asking lol.

Diesel drifter?

Waste of money IMO :thumbsup

i don't think you can!, the m3 carrier is different as well isn't it?, flat boot floor etc

wont a e36 lsd fit ....it would be cheeper second hand ........but i still cant see the point you will be killing dual mass flywheels, wont last 5 min !!!

 

[R88BY P]

unless you can get a solid flywheel kit .....do anyone do them yet ????

Do diesel and drifter go in the same sentence :hihi:hihi

Unless the OP has got one already, we are not talking pennies!

Would like to hear if he goes ahead tho.......:thumbsup

He guys, thanks for the thoughts, it was just an idea, so the LSD from an E36 would fit? Does that mean I would have to change the rear axle still? Sorry for all the questions, they might sound stupid lol.

And upgrading the fly wheel would be a must?

Don't tell me you haven't thought about it :hihi

ide be more concerned with the turbo and the engine in a drifting sludger some serious heavy duty cooling gear is gonna be needed..

so the LSD from an E36 would fit?

It most definitely will not fit. This subject has been covered on this & several other forums over the last 13 years, ever since it was obvious BMW weren't going to fit a LSD to the E46. The E36 diff is physically bigger, and won't fit the E46.
OK, BMW eventually did do a LSD in the M3, but as stated elsewhere, it's a hell of a conversion, not a couple of bolts.
If you really want one (a remapped 320d used in anger would warrant one in my opinion) you need to go aftermarket - quaife or similar.
