Hello,
Unfortunately my e30 with only 99k miles developed a whirring noise from the rear. It sure sounds like the differential to me, although I'm no expert. It's gradually getting worse too. I changed the fluid, no metal shavings or change in the noise.
From my research it looks like an 86 325 has a 2.93 rear. Nobody local is selling one. Are there any other ratios that I can consider? Assuming it's just a bolt in swap.
Also do we have any members in the Denver area that could help me diagnose the issue? I'm really thinking it's the differential but before I purchase parts I would love a second opinion.
Thank you,
Paul
