BMW e46 3.07 Differential From 330i ZHP Rare Upgrade For '99-06 e46 & e85 e86 Z4 (http://bit.ly/1j6quLb)

This is only an upgrade for a very few manual E46's. This is the stock zhp manual diff, and most E46's have a shorter ratio that 3.07

Thanks for the addtl info JP.

No prob

May want to note it won't bolt to a ZHP without swapping input and output flanges.

Why not? It's a ZHP diff. It'll bolt right up to a manual ZHP because that's where it came from...

Because it might have come from a 323 also

Yeah, but the ad says "from ZHP"...

[Hermes]

Yeah, but the ad says "from ZHP"...

He also says it's an upgrade to cars that already have shorter diffs, the guy selling it might not know what he's talking about

[Smolck]

Yep, and I can tell you that the input flange will NOT bolt to any 330 driveshaft. The 330's (and ZHP's) have a constant velocity input flange. What you see in the picture is not. Also, the output flanges are from a 325/323 automatic. You can tell by the bolt pattern and size.

What happened was, this diff came from a manual ZHP, but the owner swapped flanges to make the other diff fit his ZHP. He then put the 325/323 diff flanges on this ZHP flange.

It will NOT bolt up to a ZHP. It will fit in the subframe, but the flanges won't bolt up, period.

I just replaced my diff two days ago and had to special order a flange from BMW. I know of whence I speak.

[Avetiso]

Okay. I was assuming seller knew what he was talking.

If this diff is from a ZHP and is in it's stock form, it will bolt up to another manual ZHP. Am I wrong?

Again, that diff is not in stock form. If it was, yes, it would bolt up, but it isn't, not even close.

Ok, cool. It was a bit confusing.
