Question about axles
Has anyone had, or considered having axles made to handle the higher tq we can make with these cars?

I think 335dsleeper might have been the first to tear one up. I recall that after he took it apart he had torn up an outboard bearing cage (or something like that).
I have read about people changing over the entire M3 sub frame and put under an E90. The M3 axles are a little bit beefier but at a big expense. The point of that thread was it was perhaps a way cheaper way to change over to the M3 rear suspension parts (cost is in neighborhood of $2500). These Australian guys were buying the entire M3 subrame with brakes, axles, hubs, differential, sway bar, etc for about the same price of $2500. I know where 2 spare sets are but one is part of a whole 335D subframe assy. The other set can likely be bought outright. back to this thread's point of stronger axles. I don't think the M3 axles can get swapped in without converting over the outboard carriers too. And then that causes other follow on problems. |

So I bought a spare set of axles today on the cheap. I will more than likely have a set fabricated to hold up to the torque I'm making now, and potentially what I'll make in the near future
