335d diff

marknjayne · 01-27-2014, 12:03 PM

guys i swapped my diff on my 335d in december as the input bearing was worn and according to bmw not a part that can be replaced,so i found another diff from a breakers and fitted that,now i have the old one and was wondering if it was worth anything (i know you can use the casing for a quaife),is it worth selling it or weighing it in?

Sorry too jump on your thread but can you replace the diff oil, I've just bought my 335d and it's done 90k was thinking if I should replace the diff oil?

Given that as you rightly say, no internal diff parts are available from BMW, your diff is virtually useless - except maybe to someone with the engineering know-how to make his/her own internals...

the casing can be used though for a quaife etc,and im pretty sureif you are clever enough you can source and fit a new input bearing,im just not clever enough

You should change the gear box oil too, 60k about right, and change the built in filter-sump thing.

Don't believe the hype, no such thing as "long life" or "sealed for life"
