    5 lug swap

    So I found a 2000 z3 m roadster rear end. I was wondering if that is a direct bolt up like the e36 m3. From doing research the z3 m roadster is supposed to be the best for the rear. Can someone tell me if the rear end I found will work thanks

        Anything that will fit an E30/E36ti/z3/E28, etc. If the stock Z3m torsen diff is still on the subframe, use that, depending on what engine/trans you're running.

            The Z3M diff would be perfect if it's available to you.

            Keep in mind the Z3M subframe itself actually won't fit, the complete trailing arms will though. You'll just need to install the correct parking brake cables in to it along with the correct diff flanges for the big axles if you don't run the Z3M diff.

              i didn't have a problem with e30 parking cables on MZ3 setup. But I did have to ziptie them to the trailing arm in 2 places.
