I think any Medium Case Diff will work in the back!

Technically the E30 diff should work actually; please correct me if I am wrong guys.

Are you auto or a 5 spd out of curiousity?

I know that Miller put turbos in the M30s; he even plumbed in the Air Conditioning to force cold air into the intakes! ^_^ (dead serious guys!)

3.07 would be really low if you are a 5spd, Perfect for auto though! How much is it on Ebay?

I was thinking 3.73 for my shark and then putting in a 4.10 for the E30...

Anyone out there have a medium case 4.10? (The 4.10s from the 318 will not work, I will blow through a small case in the E30 quickly at autox...)

Yeah linc, I am with you on that! But about two years ago when I had miller put a MAF in to the '30, There is was.. a 5, with the AC plumbed into thier own intake manifold going into a computer and voila, they turn on the car, they turn on the a/c and with four guys in the car I was glued to the back of my seat.... God knows what that think was putting out...

B35 + 5 speed + 3.73LSD = PERFECT!


Get the 3.73 from an E30 325is, swap the diff cover and output flanges, and bolt it in. 3.07 is too tall, take a pass.

I think you'll need engine mount adapters for the b35. Unless it's a b35 from a 89 6er (actually, I'm unsure what year the 6er b35 matched up... but it was late model, and it's a rare match).

A 3.73 might even make your 1st gear too short. 3.07 is for big power turbo cars (I'd use a TCD M30 set up before I ever went near that Miller shit). Something in the middle might suit you better... 3.25 or 3.46 (is that right?).

As for color, I would say either Black and Red to contrast your exterior but match your interior; Or do black and yellow to contrast both; and of course because they are all M colors ^_^.

As for build logic, you may want to talk to Al and see what he can set up for you.

As for a turbo shop, the only one i know of that I have dealt with is West Coast Injection and Turbo in Richmond; but I know they do not do thier own tuning; that would be another shop that they have friends at.
