Front differential for a BMW 325xi

Silly Bear · 09-30-2018, 06:41 PM

Hi

My front diff is broke on my 325 it's a 6 speed manual.
Ive found one from another 325 but it's an automatic.

Does that fit or does the diff have a different ratio then the manual one?

If so with ratio do I have ?
Cuz when I look my car up on realoem I get 3 different front diffs

Ide really appreciate all the help I can get

autos have different gears.

to find your current ratio count the number of teeth on the ring gear and divide by the nuber of teeth on the pinion.
