Not much out yet, I read GuidoK post and what I can see on pictures of Blackline LSD its 5 bolt = 5 gear sets. And they are use 8620 steel http://www.interlloy.com.au/our-product ... ing-steel/ it seams to be a good choise of material to use in a diff.

Long story short - my 130i got driven into by a truck, fought my insurer for a bit, fought my repairer for a bit, and am now (still!) arguing with the insurer over a year on from the incident...

Hello folks, sorry to multiquote you all, but I am trying to know which version of the diff we do have to buy the correct one. Have you bought a 188K?

Cheers!

IF you give Matt the details of your car (providing you have the factory diff in it) he will let you know what LSD you require.
