Getting it done through the boys at Active mate... Yes diff is bolted and I picked the LSD up on the Aussie classifieds for a good price

I've been quoted $3.3-3.5 welded diff though

Mine is with maintenance included

Take off roughly 15k give or take on maintenance and would be about 30k I spent on mods but still a lot of $$$

I have made an excel spreadsheet on my car you should make one aswell I like to keep track of it these days and I update it every time something is done to it

Yep but there is $14K in turbos alone, so we are about the same spend tbh. Fortunately I have not spent much in maintenance, oil changes, stuffed rear hub, sparks, coils, solenoids, nothing major

Yeah that's true. You been lucky not to spend so much on maintenance.
If I didn't have to replace my motor I probably would have done turbos a long time ago

How much have you sunk into your ride DRJ??? Its spotless !!!

I done a little xls last year and as you mentioned its surprising how much money one can spend on mods and maintenance!

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=609

My list has everything, some mods I've sold eg the 313M rims etc

Ive also spent a few thousand more since then also on M3 seats and armrests, centre console etc etc

Hey mate

I contacted DiffLab, the Australian distributor for Mfactory LSD's and this is what he qouted me for

Bolted Diff:

MFactory LSD $1489
Shim Set $229
Seal Set $99
Assembly by DiffLab $349

$110 to send diff back and forth (if you are not in QLD)

Total $2,276 + Uninstall/ Install Cost of actual diff onto car by a local workshop/ bmw specialist.

Welded Diff:

As above + $400 to cover machining and bolt set.

So you are looking at $2676

Just contact

mike@difflab.com.au

Hope that helps.
