My euro 320i/B6 3.5 Alpina Tribute the never ending saga

Everything is apart waiting for clutches and bearings to get here. Should have clutches tomorrow and bearings the next.



Bearings and clutches were roached. No pics of bearings just tons of pitting especially on the pinion





Case is painted now too

One rebuilt 3.25 LSD



I ordered all new hardware for the cover and flange covers along with speed sensor bracket and hardware. If it doesn’t come gold zinc coated i will he sending it out to get coated and then I will be blasting the rear cover and pressing in a new bushing. I already have a new speed sensor in the current diff i will swap over to this.

I finished the diff tonight. All new hardware. Ignore the disgusting speed sensor i have a new one in the current diff I will swap in this one was just so i could get some fresh redline in it. Don’t have the s3.25 tag on it yet either i just blasted it the other day and its going to get gold plated. Along with some side cover bolts that i may swap out.





I painted the cover with some BBS silver wheel paint i had laying around.

Havent touched this in a while. Been busy with my job as a tech for BMW of omaha and been focusing on getting into my shop. I did get the 3.25 installed and had some paint in the drivers 1/4 panel redone since some how got contaminated and cracked but it was just localized to that spot with think oily fingers touched it before filler was applied and it didn’t like it. Just picked it up today and got it in the new shop. I’m about 90% of the way moved in i just need my other car and tool box, air compressor, bottle of argon for tig welder, and random miscellaneous stuff to tidy it up. Will eventually get a lift installed this fall. BTW the e46 m3 is my friends not mine.

Thanks man. Having it should help move projects along a good amount. I got tired and wore out from working in a 1 car garage and on my drive way to the point i didn’t work on cars anymore.
