My buddy who wrecked his 325e last year is trying to unload his parts on me since I have an E30 now. He has a 3.73 LSD diff with about 50,000 miles on it, but he says that the sensor (is it the wheel speed sensor?) is broken and needs to be replaced on it. Secondly he has an E36 steering rack with a leaking seal (i think) with the OEM rebuild kit included. He wants $200 for everything. Is that a fair price? Anything I should be on the lookout for with the diff or rack?

Sounds like a good deal to me, the diff especially. The sensor is cheap and easy to replace. -
Why did you post this in track and auto-x?
And yes this is a really good deal, the diff alone can fetch that, the 325e came with a 2.93 open for the stock diff. Did he swap diffs or something?

That's a terrible deal, especially for a friend. PM me your buddy's email so I can set him straight...Oh, if you have his paypal addy that would also be a plus!
BTW, if my sarcasm doesn't come thru electronically, yes, it is pretty good, basically what ZM said.....Comment

are you installing that diff in a 325i? or 325e? if you have a eta a 3.25 would be way better.
but good deal non the less.Originally posted by e30eComment

A rack and a seal kit aren't worth that much. It's pretty difficult to rebuild an E36 rack.

I would only take it if you feel like doing a project (e36 rack) and find the diff to be in great condition (inspect internals, breakaway torque, seals, etc...). It's not the deal of the century IMO.
You could have and still can find prices by searching the Parts For Sale forum.Comment
