M Coupe Diff Cover, will the OE Part Fit?

[SR20Fastback]

will the OE finned diff cover fit just like the aftermarket ones, or not? The suspension is pretty close to the same, so maybe the diff is similar as well. Anyone ever tried?

Yes bolts right on, I've got one on my 88 325is.

Yep, bolts right up as you can see

As previously stated it just bolts up. I wonder what it is you see in it though.

They have been tested on track cars, and saw a 5degree F overall temp drop at the diff. Its a waste of money. Purely for looks. Its only a matter of time before you drag it on something and smash the fins off. If the car is lowered anyways... and if its not lowered.. you shouldn't be wasting money on crap like this :roll:

eh, I was too lazy to press a new bushing into mine..plus my fins were all messed up when UPS dropped the box

I'd put it into the same catergory as extrude honed intakes on M20s.. total waste of money, but people do it anyway.
