So, JV, what do you charge for a diff rebuild?
The 3.91 in the E36 has a little bit of pinion whine, and I'd really actually like to put in a 3.73 gear.

Ha, Matt beat me to it.
Nick, depends what it needs. Do you have a good complete 3.73 to swap your lsd into? |

I think there's a niche here for JV to become the Singer of E46 BMWs.

Seriously. Just start building bespoke e46 M3 wagons. I'm sure you'd sell everyone you could make.

I'd be picking up a 3.73 (E30 diff) to pull the ring out of, most likely. Would need to be a swap in as the E36 has very limited gear options.

Shouldn't be a problem. Crush sleeves are kinda expensive though.
Do you still have a rear subframe bushing tool Nick? I'd like to borrow that again if so... |

It must be in a box somewhere.
