In this video I show you how to replace your differential on your E90 BMW. This process would be similar for the E60 or E82 etc.

More info on the LSD inside this diff:

I'm finally installing my converted differential. I converted it from an open to a limited slip differential. I have a playlist on my channel, check it out to see the rest of this series.

    For anyone going to remove the drive shaft for any reason, careful using a 2” wrench. Proper size is 50mm and mine was so tight that i needed a 3’ pipe over the wrench just to loosen the red threadlocker. A 2” wrench (50.8mm) would’ve stripped the nut on my diff easily

    With this video I was able to get my E92 335is open diff out and install my wavetrac LSD. This is a great tutorial! The 50mm nut loosening damn near required my full strength, this was a jack stand job so I think I wedged my knee under the wrench to break it loose. Also the final dropping of the pumpkin was super frustrating. Got it done though. Thanks.

    Great video, man. Good luck to you. Getting stuck in Houston mud during hurricane season shouldn't be that much of a problem from now on.
  • @ashleys7416
    This really helped as I wasn't sure which way to turn as it stayed very hard for so long haha 😁👍

    I agree with MD. Your car is twin to mine... for now but the other channels are so full of BS. I need to view all your published videos because I am up to my ass in parts to install to make this car untouchable. Thanks for your down to earth explanations too

    After thrying to find a video on the replacement or at least the removal of the rear driveshaft on a 335XI I realized your video on your LSD swap has the info I need. That rear nut that is a 2 inch nut is the one I needed to know about. Thank you again for your great videos!
