Hey I wAs wondering if anyone in here rides a welded diff from a 320. How strong is the casing are they pretty bullet proof? Anyone ever have problems with breaking shafts or drivelines? Any feed back is thanked...

I race welded, but would never run one on the street.

I have put them into my street car to break them in, check for problems, etc

and it is miserable.

When you're racing, any corner acute enough to slow you down

involves a lot of load transfer, and the inside wheel lifts and slips.

On the street, there is never enough load transfer, so

you're always fighting the diff with the front wheels, and

it's unpleasant. And somewhat unsafe, as you can get absurd

amounts of understeer that transition to gross oversteer in

lower- traction (rain) conditions.

That said, they're plenty stout to take it. Even the 2002

diffs didn't have too much trouble. The cv's do wear faster-

but not badly.

That's my experience...

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
