This part number on sale would only work for pre-LCI 335/445is with an RWD, automatic transmission.. It would not fit a 328i due to the difference size half-shafts..

This dude ordered the wrong part number to save a buck but had to end up purchasing the correct one, they're vehicle specific, especially for automatic vehicles.

You really are making this too difficult.

It will fit in place of any vehicle that has the original part number 33107603748 (or the part preceding 33107603749) non-lsd 3.15 differential that is being replaced. If the shaft and other parts work for part 33107603748 or 33107603749, they will plug right in to the LSD on sale in each of these 33 cars.

If all the stats line up and you don't mine rolling the dice, then go for it. Believe me, I won't lose any sleep if it doesn't work.

Just sharing the fact that BMW stated in black and white that this part is exclusively made for the 335/435 RWD, automatic only, whatever the reason might be.

Also, the thread I shared confirms that you will run into issues with an automatic and the final drive if its off from the original, no mix and matching.

Do what you please, just a little Caveat Emptor for those that doesn't care to waste time and money on possible buying the wrong part.

According to BMW, the M3/M4 Steering Wheels, Seats and even 437/666 wheels will not fit on a F3x either.

Sometimes you have to use some common sense.

If the cars all use a non lsd differential part number 33107603748, then the Replacement LSD is going to fit all those cars all those cars as well.

[neonnblack]

Mine is coming shortly. It works in the manual cars.

mine is a 2013, 6mt 3.23 gears. 3.15 lsd from the automatics is acceptable. this has confirmed with my shop and bimmerworld.

worst case i wasted a grand.

[RMachuca3d]

I'll wait for another 328'er to delve into it before I repurchase lol.

with a quick check of realoem, there are a few parts that are different, the plastic guards that go around the coupling are different for starters to accommodate the larger diameter half shaft, amongst some other accessory parts to the driveshaft, that is enough to deter me for now as I'm not ready to deal with that headache if i need to end up buying 335i half shafts and all those parts.

Ok... so it will bolt up just fine because all f30 use the same diff housing, but the guts of it will be different and will cause issues with the e-diff. That's why it's for 335i/435i rwd auto. Good luck to any non 335i/435i who try it. Mine comes in a week and I'm pumped.

Just as long as you realize that no one on this forum believes it will work as intended on a manual besides you.

Why do we think that is? The ratio isn't significant enough to cause issues. Especially since the ratio is changing with a manual trans. If i had an automatic i could see the TCU giving issues. Are the splines different? I haven't seen evidence that half shafts between auto and manual are different. I see part numbers are different, but diameter is the same. I can't imagine they make different shafts for auto and manual 335.

Very slight speed and rpm difference. not enough for me to worry about.

I could maaaybe see DSC having an issue but with the wheel speed sensor around the bearing, the diff wouldn't affect that, actually.

Also, I'm not trying to be argumentative either, just good discussion on why this may or may not work. i just don't see it not working out, and other opinions backing it.

I'm pretty sure they didn't specifically make a LSD for the auto or manual because they were bored and had extra time and money to kill; but some logical rhyme and reason behind the decision and exactly why they have individual part numbers for each type of vehicle.

If you want to play guinea pig, even with all the facts available, go for it! I'm 2/3rds sure it won't properly work but I don't mine confirming it on someone else's dime.

As someone probably said; You can lead a man to water but you can't make him buy the correct LSD.

You are correct, there is a reason there are different. The final drive ratio is different, warranting a different part number.

Not one person has came up with a reason other than "different part number, won't work". No reputable, detailed reason why it won't.

Plenty of parts can mix and match with bmw. I learned this greatly with my e46.

Worst comes to worst, it doesn't work and my old one goes back in.

It's going to mess with your dst. I would be careful. Good luck

Did you mean DSC? That was the only system i could see maybe being a issue. Yet i still can't see why, as it works off differentiating wheel speed, no? Could coding circumvent a DSC/eLSD issue?

And to reiterate, I'm not saying any of you are dead wrong. I agree this possibly might not work, but I'm not seeing why, bimmerworld claimed it would work and a fairly high level Porsche/BMW race shop in town couldn't find a reason it wouldn't.

I'm not trying to be ignorant or ignoring of evidence, but saying it won't work and not being able to give more detail is unacceptable, in my opinion.

Gotta risk it for the biscuit! I believe in you! Neonnblack get it done! And post a burn out vid please! Wish I had the cash to spare at the moment or I'd be betting my money on the same pony as a fellow 6 speed 435i owner. For $600 you can't lose. I'm sure you can sell it on eBay or this part forum for more. Once the deal is gone the tax will be back.
