If he have to shift one more shoot to go to 60mph because the gearing is lower, then his 0-60 time will go up.

Get my point?

making repairs with BMW Original Teile parts,

especially with an high stress component like this !

New Bolts, 'RED' perminent thread locking agent on threads,and correct tightening torque settings.

Someone along the way did screw (not) the pooch.

And another fine piont about using USED PARTS.

Always inspect and check for correct assembly before

using them - trust no one but yourself - again especially with a potentially deadly component as a diff - what would have been your story if you had been driving on a road at 75MPH when this failed ???

Glad no injuries - get on with the repairs.

.........................................................

that said - SIMPLE = remove the back cover which you should have done before installing it to clean it out ansd inspect for broken/worn teeth, changing the oil - all before wasting your time and energy .

(TRUST ONLY YOURSELF - AND BLAME ONLY YOURSELF)

WITH THE COVER REMOVED - ROTATE THE GEARS AND THE TEETH COUNT / RATIO IS CLEARLY STAMPED INTO THE GEARS - LOOK

It kicks ass all over the pavement, but I still haven't gotten it to stop whining. Sending it back for retuning again soon.

should be 11S43 or some combo.

Devide the big number by the little one, that is your ratio. The S means limited slip. If you can't make them out, look inside, count the teeth and see it there are any clutches. If there are remnants of a big painted S on the side that is a limited slip also.

    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
