Bought a large case 210mm 3.62 e46 m3 lsd, because I don't want to worry about the 188mm medium diff down the road.

I don't think you will have a problem with the medium case. Mine has seen over 500lbft and has had 0 issues. Also that 3.62 gear is too low. I'm at a 3.25 and may go to a 2.93.

Thanks for your support!

That's what I was thinking too but the m5 3.10 is like $1500, I plan to run drag radials/slicks down the road and I'm thinking s476r after seeing that make nearly 800hp on a stock 5.3

This swap is in my near future, and I'm not looking forward to the diff selection at all.

I might try to get another set of lower gears off another e46, I'll post how that goes.

Thanks guys, I plan to have a some more updates soon.

Finally got a chance to pull the old diff out and mock up the e46 m3 diff.


Also, bought rear lips for the fittipaldis and black chrome bolts and a rare square headlight front end to go with the louvers haha

Not my car

I LOVE this car! I'm not really a big BMW fan, but there's just something about the E30's that I love. I think it's the old school box shape. Yours is especially clean. I'm gonna have to own one of these before I die. Great build!

Keep up the good progress !!!

Headlights have arrived.
What do you think? I LOVE how it looks.


Fittipaldi lips/bolts are in the mail, pretty psyched.

Car looks awesome man. The square lights flow so much better with the lines of the car.

Kind of a waste of time to mess with the headlights don't ya think? If you wanted people to see your nice work, I'd say in your case the tail lights need the attention
