Happy new year to you all.
I'm after a lsd from an E12 M535 with a gear ratio of 3.06 (although the gear ratio is not that important). This is to fit in the back of my E21 using a Fritz's Bits conversion cross member.
Can anybody help.
Thanks,
James

E12 M535's aren't all that easy to find. E12's sure. I think you'll have to order the LSD portion.

I've been to Fritz Bits befores and seen them mention that E12 diff. I was wondering if a big case from a E28 would fit? Did you purchase the rear subframe from them? What was the cost?

Hi Dave

I have the fritz set up inmy car, the e12 diff is dimensionaly close to the e21,the e28 fouls the cross memeber behind the spare wheel well.

But i do have a spare e12 m535i diff but i need to check the ratio. I have mailed you my email to discuss

What engine are you going for v8?

E12 diff is a sideloader, correct? Totally different from an E28 unit. Just an FYI.

I'm picking the cross member up at the end off the month. I'll post some pictures then.

Thanks to Jason I am now the proud owner of an E12 Diff. I was wondering if anybody can tell me what all the gubbins on the side is. It looks like some sort of oil breather system.
I was led to believe you can run a diff oil cooler on this diff. Is this what it replaces.

Have you seen the e30/e21 hybrid rear subframe? I have pictures of it on my hard drive if you'd like me to post. I'm planning to build one for my project car.

I have spoke to someone that knows and he has told me that the stuff on the side is an oil cooler. It works by the oil being thrown around the diff going into the top tube and then gravity bringing through the cooler to the bottom of the diff.
I was wondering if I fit a remote cooler to the diff would I have to use an oil pump to circulate the oil?

Hi dave

Teh e12 diffs are known for running hot, it said that the csl racer diffs glow red.

as far as I can tell the system works by condesing (& hence cooling) the oil that has heated into vapor and retuning it to the diff.

An external oil cooler is easy the pump is tricky mocal do an electric one, but soem people have tried and eltric 12v bilge or water pump
