Rear End Compatibility 2011 335i X-Drive N55

Apruitt720 · 03-26-2025, 06:23 PM

The subframe and various other parts of the rear Drivers side of my car are damaged from an accident and I'm looking to replace the entire rear end as a whole.
I have a 335i X-Drive with a 6MT Transmission

Would this work if I swapped out the differential?

Does the new rear end have to be AWD as well?

Does the 328i vs e335i make any difference? Thank you guys for any input.

the diff ratio is different for every engine and gearbox
you need to get this ratio either in realoem or from label on diff and then search similar
the brakes also different
