8 Series (E31) (1991 - 1997) As the last E24 rolled off the production line in 1989, its replacement was quick on its heels to fulfill the fantasies of those looking for a touring coupe with all of the luxury, performance, and prestige of a BMW, only now with both 8 and 12 cylinder engines.

Still Looking for Lower Gears for '95 840ci

I am still in the market for a LSD 3.65 differential for my 1995 840ci.

If anyone has a handle on one ... Please point them my way.

Many Thanks

Terry:

Regarding the Differential ... ->

Do you happen to know which model years of the 750i will fit (Without modification) my Automatic Trans. 1995 840ci??

Back in the early 90's ... When someone purchased a 750i ... were they able to order a specific differential or was Limited-Slip an option that could be ordered on that model car or did it come as standard equipment?

I think that '91 750 was the first compatable year. The 735 is NOT compatible in '91.

The current fad is 3.15's for the 8's There are also ratios between the two.

'94 is the last e32. In '95 it was an e38 and the rear suspension and differential housing is supposed to be completely different.

The e32 750 was made thru '94 and the e32 740 in '93 and '94
