Genuine BMW Rubber Mounting Front -
This item fits the following BMW Chassis:
E65, E66 - All submodels

This is a complete differential to change the gearing of a manual transmission E90/E92 325i, 328i, or 330i (not for xi models) to a 3.64 ratio final drive. The standard gearing on the manual transmission cars is 3.15 or 3.23, making this E90 diff significantly shorter. This diff is from a 330i automatic where the gear ratio has to be shorter to make up for the transmission gearing differences and extra weight. This will dramatically improve acceleration on any 325i, 328i or 330i INSTANTLY! If you are looking for better off-the-line or rolling acceleration, and are willing to sacrifice a little top-speed (some of us don't get up to 150mph), this is one of the best ways to achieve it with almost no downside. There are few things that can improve your 0-to-60 and 0-to-100 times as much as shorter gearing, and this differential is clearly a best "bang-for-buck" solution for dramatically better acceleration. Since this is an Original BMW part it carries the same BMW two year warranty as any other new part. So there's no need to take a chance on a used part from a private seller. (former BMW part number 33107519944)

Changing gear ratio changes the RPM range for any given speed. Use the chart below for examples of speed vs RPM changes for the 3.64 diff.

Why 5th? Because 6th does not have the mechanical advantage to get past wind resistance at these speeds - it is more of a cruise/overdrive gear. Using 5th for comparison purposes is much more relevant than having to take into account wind direction, resistance, grade, elevation, tire sizing, etc. These numbers are for comparisons among gear ratios only, not to determine what your E90 will top out at.2006-2011 325i or 328i, 6-speed manual, stock 3.23 gears, 255/35-18" rear tires

When high torque loads and aggressive corner exits push your chassis to the limit, stock differential mounts quickly become the weak link. The ECS Tuning Rear Differential Front Mount Upgrade Kit is track-engineered to lock down your rear diff, control axle wrap, and ensure immediate power delivery to the pavement.

Built to withstand severe track abuse, this kit eliminates hardware failure by replacing the undersized factory M12 bolt with an ultra-high-tensile Grade 12.9 M14x1.5 bolt. Surrounding the upgraded hardware is a track-spec 95A durometer red polyurethane bushing and a rugged 6061-T6 aluminum sleeve finished in Type II black anodizing. Engineered for maximum drivetrain stiffness, this upgrade ensures your differential stays precisely aligned under the harshest motorsport conditions.

Single piece 6061 construction, optimized cooling, provisions for temp sensor, and external cooler with removable air duct.

Built to last, made from a single piece of 6061 billet aluminum with a rugged and good-looking hard-coat anodizing our diff cover can handle anything you throw at it. Not only is it an absolute masterpiece to look at but the billet diff cover checks all the boxes for features needed. Reinforced mounting ears for strength and stability, never again will you break an ear off your diff cover like the factory units are known to do. Each ear is not only unified with the one-piece billet cover but also feature added material for the highest durability possible. This diff cover is cool, literally, the entire construction was designed with optimized cooling in mind. External fins are strategically placed on the rear face, bottom, and between the mounting ears of the cover, serving as effective heat sinks for optimal heat dissipation. This ensures stable temperatures, promoting longevity for both the fluid and your differential. Additionally, the internal design ensures continuous oiling and lubrication to the ring gear, maintaining its stability and preventing fatigue by controlling heat more effectively. An internal baffle at the cover's corner helps maintain proper pressure and prevents cavitation.

All of the OEM features were retained along with the upgrades. The mounting surface was designed to be compatible with both the OEM gasket or RTV of your choosing, some people don't trust the gaskets and we get it. You can transfer your speed sensor directly to your upgraded billet cover and it even features a provision for the sensor wire mounting. Factory bushing geometry allows you to use any E36 diff busing including rubber, poly, and even solid mounts. The drain and fill plugs on the diff cover are upgraded to -6AN using the provided high-pressure fittings with replaceable o-rings. The drain and fill plugs can now also be used for expanding to an external oil cooler allowing you to further expand the fluid capacity for optimized cooling and service intervals. To keep an eye on things from the driver seat is 1/8 NPT provision for temp sensors, this product from Turner has you covered at every turn.

Why the upgrade?

If you're new to differential covers used in earlier generations like the E30, you'll find significant improvements in the OEM E36 cover. Unlike the E30's single mount design, the E36 features a dual mount design, which was introduced to address common issues such as broken mounts due to worn-out bushings and aggressive driving. This upgrade significantly enhanced durability and reliability.

While the factory E36 differential cover was a significant improvement with its dual mounts compared to the previous generation, there are still some shortcomings that the original cover doesn't address. Most factory differential covers, including those on the E36, are cast from aluminum. However, due to the porous nature of cast aluminum, the mounting ears on these covers cannot withstand the intense shocks typical in motorsport or in vehicles with significantly increased power.

Upgrading to our Reinforced Billet Differential cover gives you the strength you need to push your car to its limits without worrying about snapping a diff mount from clutch kicking or other shocks to the drivetrain. In addition to its enhanced strength, this differential cover includes numerous other upgrades and conveniences. These include improved cooling and lubrication for the ring gear, upgraded fill and drain plugs, and the option to expand an external oil cooler for extreme motorsport usage. Designed to complement both upgraded daily drivers and extensively modified track cars, it also boasts a visually appealing design.

Key Benefits:

Reinforced mounting ears for strength and stability - never again will you break an ear off during an aggressive drive or track event
External fins on the back side, bottom, and mounting ears on the casing for maximum cooling and consistent fluid temps

Important Note for Bolt Kits:

For vehicles equipped with a welded ring gear, the installation of this differential necessitates the removal, drilling, and installation of the welded ring gear from your stock differential. A Bolt Kit ES4368731 is an essential component for installing the ring gear onto the new differential. We strongly recommend consulting with a professional machine shop before purchasing this item and the necessary hardware kit. Please be aware that no technical drawings or instructions are provided, underscoring the importance of verifying compatibility and ensuring correct installation with your chosen machine shop.

It's crucial to be aware that no refunds or replacements will be offered if the differential has been installed or machined, or in the event of incorrect ring gear installation or differential failure due to improper installation.
