So I'm minding my own business, pulling my diff.. (disclaimer: i have never pulled my diff before..or the inboard cv bolts BUT the previous owner did have the diff replaced at one point..about 1993 I think).

anyways.. there are 6 bolts on each side of the diff bolting it to the halfshafts. thats 12 bolts in total.

any guesses on how many nuts (in total) were on the bolts?

If I understand the bolts you are referring to, on my car they are socket head cap screws. The diff flange is threaded, the screws go through the CV joint and thread into the diff flange, where loctite holds everything together nicely.

I couldn't believe it.. 12 bolts.. only 2 with nuts on them. Funny thing is, ALL the bolts, even the 10 without nuts.. were in there tight as hell. I wonder what this summer of autoX and drivers schools would have done to it :)

moral of the story.. either

a) always check your nuts

or

B) never trust the previous owner of your nuts.

hehe.

    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
