I have an 86 325es and can't seem to find a place that sells gears for my car. Would also be interested in a Posi unit rebuild kit for same. I tried Google search .

Where to buy ring and pinion gears ?

I have no idea where you would find those parts as I don't think they were ever available as separate parts. It would make more sense to just get a replacement (used) differential if the ring and pinion need to be replaced.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

Is going to be cheaper and a whole easier in the long run to just buy a used diff in the gear you want.sigpic

It depends on the situation. I bought new clutches from bimmerdiffs (the gears were fine) and being in a central racing hub got someone to do the labor on the side for $50. With new gears I was only looking at $5-600 for a completely rebuilt diff, as opposed to $250-$300 for a used diff or 1k+ for a rebuilt unit from someone here. My labor costs were abnormal for sure, but if he can do it himself he can definitely have a good diff for pretty cheap.88 325is - S52 powered
