In this video I show you how to replace your differential on your E90 BMW. This process would be similar for the E60 or E82 etc.

I'm finally installing my converted differential. I converted it from an open to a limited slip differential. I have a playlist on my channel, check it out to see the rest of this series.

Thanks.
big 50mm nut to driveshaft.... 85nm/ 62 ft lbs.... blue lock tight on splines (see note below using 2" crowfoot wrench)
Rear diff bushing... 21mm back bolt.... 121 ft lbs torque spec
Front diff bushings bolts... 73 ft lbs
18mm exhaust hangars, just tight.
Axle bolts... 52 ft lbs... blue locktight
gear oil through fill hole and torque to 44.3 lb-ft with 14 mm male hex.
Note: 50mm nut torque spec using 2" crawfoot wrench: The torque wrench was 15” long from center of wrench to center of hand grip. Crow’s foot has an extra 2.25”. the torque will be 15% high or 72.1 lb-ft. The point of the formula is I set the torque wrench at 54 lb-ft to get an actual of 62 lb-ft.
Thank you Moosa aka Vehicular DIY for another amazing video! Just got quoted $1200 to install my new Wavetrac LSD... instead did it myself and all I spent was $15 for the Sunex crowfoot wrench and optional but I got a $130 trans lift from Harbor Freight.
I won't give up my Datsun Z but I would not mind getting a bimmer just to upgrade.
