Hi all, I have a '91 318is and recently started hearing some noise from the rear of the vehicle. I wasn't positive if it was coming from the diff but I decided to start there (was looking to upgrade anyway). So I sourced out an open diff from a '97 318ti automatic. It was my understanding that this small case 4.44 rear end would bolt right up to my e30. Yesterday I got a call from my mechanic saying it doesn't fit. I called the seller of the diff and he assured me it came out of the car mentioned above. So I'm puzzled.
Am I wrong for assuming it should fit my car? Or was it a specific year of the 318ti that had a compatible rear end?
Is the seller lying to me?
Does my mechanic not know what he's doing? Or missing a part somewhere?
I'm out a lot of money at this point and just not sure what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
