    MZ3 rear swap.

    A couple of questions:

    Do I need different diff flanges with MZ3 trailing arms?

    Does the above depend on which axles I use (E30, MZ3, E36 M3)?

    Thanks!!

    I already have MZ3 trailing arms, so no, 318ti is not easier. :p

      No, it's for the tow vehicle :-)

      It has E30 M3 stuff right now, but i want bigger brakes and reinforcements.

          Alex. You will want to use the MZ3 axles, and yes you will need their matching output flanges.

          E36 M3 axles are different, as are e30 M3. They will not fit the splines in the hub.

          If you want to pick my brain at all on the swap you know how to get ahold of me.
