BMW Differential problems!?
Hey guys/girls: I need to replace the differential on my 2000 M5, and I can’t find a used diff. for that specific model/year. I found one on Ebay, but I can’t figure out if it will work on my car. Check it out and let me know if you know the answer to my problem! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=310067084369&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=021 I tried talking to the dealer on the phone, but they want me to bring it in and charge me $200 to give me an answer. A: Neg. That is a Non-LSD differential. Your M5 should have an Limited Slip Differential(posi not open). The correct part number for the Diff you need is 33102229566. Ask around on Bimmerforums.com or the BMWCCA website to see if others have one.
