I started watching this video knowing full well I will NEVER do this mod myself. I still watched the entire thing for some reason and am now confident in my ability to perform this mod that I will never actually do. Thanks guys.
SOIL1135 as far as I know, the 335i nor 335is ever came with an LSD from the factory. BMW has an interesting electronic LSD function by applying the brake to the spinning tire alternating back and forth allowing the car to lay down two black strips of tire on the pavement, but it isn't an actual LSD. I have done a fairly extensive build on my 2011 e92 335i and my next upgrade will either be an Mfactory LSD or the M3 swap that these guys just finished. Cheers!
Ha ive just done mine ,8 hours of labour by myself after watching this video few weeks ago pretty easy with the right tools, mine is a convertible bit harder of a job as the under strength braces were in the way of the heatsink of the diff so had to shame it into a triangled shape, can finnally make good use of first and second gear, so much fun , these guys have produced the best content on TH-cam in Regards to this platform prayze to budget bimmers as if not for them dont think i would have attempted this mode.
For the the m3 driveshaft, basically you had it shortened down to 25.7in ? Sorry to be a noob but like is that in overall length or is that what I have to tell the shop when they’re shortening the bottom end ? And will the measurement fit for 335i sedan ? 13:02
best underrated builds in youtube! I see shit like b is for build blowing up being half the dynamic these dude have and i puzzles me. not taking anything away form that channel either, but you know what i mean like most of you viewers i've seen all of the videos and on shit i have no interest or need of actually doing but here i am on craigslist and offer up trying to find a 335. lol
Would you guys recommend getting the whole pumpkin or just a helical diff for a bolted diff 135i? Retrofitting an M3 diff seems like way too much work so I’m looking at helical diffs.
Are you saying that you got the drive shaft off by keeping the e brake on? I was under the impression that the ds should be captive not the dif or rear wheels? Maybe I heard you wrong.
put a screwdriver into the brake rotor vent against the caliper to take off the axle bolt. might have to support the control arm with a block if it swings with the torque.
After watching this whole video, I am now confident that I will never be able to do what you guys just did lmao How much for labor costs on this stuff? Do I just hand them the parts and say "take this stuff and swap the diff"?
I would be down for a sweatshirt.. Living in Arizona though I would need a different color than black though.. Can I get it in white with black lettering? Large size should be good
Sorry to necro an old comment, my e92 335i is a 03/2007 build date, does this mean i dont need axles but just the diff and drive shaft from any year e9x m3 with the 3.15 DCT diff?
@@Zodiam. I have no idea but getting an auto 3.46 with a 1 or 1.5way with 18s are much better and end up being the same. I did gear calculations and you still get 185mph or so top speed but will get there much much better
@@N54God666 I see, i was looking at doing this swap because a local junker here actually has a 3.15 m3 diff listed for the equivalent of $650 which seems like a steal. I dont really do any track driving (yet atleast), i just want to be able to chuck my car sideways and have some fun. Guess its time for some research!
@@Zodiam. are you manual or auto? Auto already has a 3.46 so getting a m3 diff that I completely believe is an absolute waste of time will actually hurt you. If you're manual with the 3.08 then a 3.15 isn't worth it. Like I said the 3.46 for manual with 18" rims and bit taller tires (i need to check size again) are the best. With my built engine going to 8000rpm I'll have a 225mph top speed and get there much faster then my 3.08
@@Zodiam. assuming 6mt RWD, with 255/40R18 which is a 26" tire, 7000rpm. You will have 3.46 vs 3.08 1st 38.5mph vs 42mph 2nd 65mph vs 70mph 3rd 99mph vs 106.8mph 4th 131.2mph vs 141.8mph 5th 156.5mph vs 169mph 6th 180mph vs 193.8mph This is already extremely short gearing for the e9x but will absolutely make it feel much more thrustie. Pair this with 17t turbos and you will have basically zero traction at will. Even at 60mph With such a small change to a 3.15 from a 3.08 wouldn't be worth it at all. Auto is even worse since you would be going longer and I'm not sure what other shorter finals are available but you could check tuner motorsport. Since you have a 07 you should have a large pumpkin
How long did this take y’all? How long would it have taken if y’all didn’t have the thread issue on the axle shafts and bought a new driveshaft support bearing?
Hi guy's im doing the same conversion but baught a spare manual propshaft as would like it welded and balanced before doing th job as using the car to work at the moment and no time to check exact measurements apart from measuring the spare manual prop shaft against the m3 one, my question here is even tho i measured it on the floor i realised that the 335i prop shifts forwards and back i guess the m3 one does it also but on the diff side, 335i does it on the transmission side, don't want too much slack and don't want it with not enough as this can cause it all to collapse I suppose ,is 25 and 3 quarters measured from centre bearing bolt to the face of the flange when it was still bolted on the car?, any help would be greatly appreciated
hey guys. does the new diff gear ratio make it taller or shorter than the stock 335? taller= less revs than before, shorter more revs at same speed, less top speed.
Where did you guys buy parts? Can't find a differential for less that $700 and they all got a ton of miles. And how can I know what size my shafts need to be cut into? (e92 dct m3 shaft and e92 335i auto)
"Dude they work so well" "Cus they're the right tool?... imagine..." Don't know why but that part was funny af to me. I'm looking at getting a 335i or possibly 535i in a couple days. I'll definitely be doing this as well. Can't believe bmw released a tt / turbo inline 6 with a 6mt and no lsd....
My 335i needs a new differential, old one is making a whining noise. Do you think it's an easy job to swap for an OEM one? Or something a shop should do?
stay away from m3 diff in a 335i ... n54 makes so much more torque that this lsd will not last long... buy a proper one that is meant to hold all that torque
Nice setup 👍 i have a question i got a really good deal on a 2010 m3 dct differential i was wondering can i put that in my auto 335i? What's the pros and cons of going this route
Few questions: What length did you make the whole driveshaft? I have a 2012 e92 automatic, would it be the same length? Does the differential need some kind of balancing? Thanks
I'm not saying you guys went the wrong route, but couldn't you have swapped an older generation 335 diff. and installed an LSD into it? or am I overseeing something?
Got any vibration humming? I notice you guys have a blue mark on your diff flange.. I had driveline humming when doing the M3 diff in my car a few years back went mad found out the E9X ///M diff is balanced from the factory and some diffs need counterbalance bolts. I created this thread but 99% of ppl have never heard of this included the guys at my local dealer... www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1231461&page=2
Can you give me the contact information to that driveshaft rework spot? I live in South Florida and there are 0 locations here capable of welding and balancing
I'd for sure order and rock a shirt and hoodie. Quick question for ya, do you have the 2nd gear lockout issue at high rpm? Ive launched my e92 and it just locks me out of 2nd....wondering if you have stiffer mounts or any thoughts?

Lol
Facts🤣
Lmaooo
I feel like I could do a lot of things if I wasn't scared to fuck my car up
Damn that’s awesome! If only they came from the factory with an LSD but it’s well worth the upgrade
The 335is doesn't have a LSD.
My e92 335i has an lsd...

Dude acted WAAAAAY differently than I would have after finding out the axel threads were banged up. Nice keepin your shit together! 😂👍
"it was at that moment... He knew he f#*@ up" 😂🤤🤣. I'm just glad we are able to laugh about it now. Dude... that way too close!
dude i dieeedd when he raised his head😂😂 and then the caption😭😭😭😭😭
This is one of the best mods you done. Helps alot for traction. 👌
best thing ever isthe upgrading from stock to LSD really making things go smoother

Dat hoodie! Immediately thought where can I buy one when I saw them.
Does it have to be a dct differential or can it be manual too?
how do I know which specific diff to buy for LSD ? can you show me which exact one to buy for my 07 335i n54
I feel yo pain with this video I had the same problem with the axle. Y’all my hero’s !
does it make noise turning at low speeds?
TO CHANGE JUST THE DIFFERENTIAL COVER, WOULD YOU NEED TO DROP THE AXLE?
i've done a diff in a e46 a couple times now, it weighs 100lbs nothing to mess around with above your head
i know you’re manual, i’m curious if this diy would be the same for a auto 335i non dct?
Yes, you would just need to get the auto variant parts.
Does it matter if its from a e92 or e90 M3 or both of them work?
Liu Mejias they are same

For future reference this is because you have a small diff case. The m3 and early 08 and 07 are the same size and only need driveshaft

lucky to be alive. great video!
How long did this take y’all? How long would it have taken if y’all didn’t have the thread issue on the axle shafts and bought a new driveshaft support bearing?
If my 335i is manual ? Would the m3 diff will still fit ?
Congrats on the Diff! Making me more and more jealous one video at a time!
Great ending!
Hi guys. What exhaust is this? Sounds awesome
Is this the same bolt in situation for a 2004 e46 330ci manual I want to put the m3 lsd in it
How hard was this job(time, how annoying it was) 1-10 and how much did the parts cost, im interested in doing this exact swap
you guys are gold, best shiz i've seen in a while!
Did you need to change bellhousing or anything like that or was the diff a straight fit ?

"It was at this moment he knew, he f*d up" that was super funny especially when you expecting it haha
Why not to join 335i driveshaft with M3 one? You can keep right lenght with 335i support bearing and M3 diff input
What differential bushings do you have?
Can i do this to 335ix e92 is the question
Question about the ECS rear trailing arms. Do they make any difference or are they just replacements instead of upgrades?
Can you tell me which bolts I need for the axles to the differential and the ones for the drive shaft to the differential?
whats the 0-60 time on the car with the single turbo. im trying to decide between the doc racing kit or the stage 3 mmp twins. such a hard decision
@9:30-10:30 shit is hilarious. This is why I love your channel.
Where did you find all the specs so you know the correct diff to purchase? Also, where did you purchase the parts from?
hey guys. does the new diff gear ratio make it taller or shorter than the stock 335?
taller= less revs than before, shorter more revs at same speed, less top speed.
What kinda light is that in the beginning?
Where did you guys buy all of the hardware?
I’m about half way through this on my e93 and it looks like the heat sink is going to fowl the verts braces🤔
Where did you guys buy parts? Can't find a differential for less that $700 and they all got a ton of miles. And how can I know what size my shafts need to be cut into? (e92 dct m3 shaft and e92 335i auto)
I got everything from ebay, my diff was 850 and has 70k miles. And you have to measure the driveshafts
Was this the full dct driveshafts?
Will i fit in the 2012 335i sedan
"Dude they work so well"
"Cus they're the right tool?... imagine..."
Don't know why but that part was funny af to me. I'm looking at getting a 335i or possibly 535i in a couple days. I'll definitely be doing this as well. Can't believe bmw released a tt / turbo inline 6 with a 6mt and no lsd....
Do you happen to have a list of all the parts/hardware you used to make the swap? I wanna do this on my 335is lmao!!

Jorge Torres i got mine at autozone
Budget Bimmers, Thanks for the info. 👍🏻🏎

will this work on a 435?
You have cut and re weld the transmission?
My 335i needs a new differential, old one is making a whining noise. Do you think it's an easy job to swap for an OEM one? Or something a shop should do?
Very easy to do yourself

Do you still have the old axles can i have them if you do ?
*BUILT TO LAST, DURALAST*
Is this the same process for n54 135? Thanks
Are the gear tighter than the regular 335 diff?
Where did you get those headlights?
Did you get a fully rebuilt diff or just new seals?
How has this Diff swap held up to the N54 & racing abuse?
What was the song you guys were playing
Where did u get the 50mm wrench
The best one of you guys i have seen
I have a n54 335i dct, can it still work with my car? As yours is auto not dct, any1?
Use an impact gun for removing the big 36mm and will break it easier
The e90 m3 lsd fits in a e92 body style?
Few questions:
What length did you make the whole driveshaft?
I have a 2012 e92 automatic, would it be the same length?
Does the differential need some kind of balancing?
Thanks
Great diy👍👍👍👍👍 I’m from RI too
would this work on a e92 328i as well?
I was going to do this with my car. what was the total pricing of all the parts you needed for the swap?
Timbo i said it in the video, probably around 1800
I'm not saying you guys went the wrong route, but couldn't you have swapped an older generation 335 diff. and installed an LSD into it? or am I overseeing something?
So how long would it have taken if you didn't have issues with the axle splines?
Probably 5 hours
Where did you get the Tusk 50mm wrench? I’ve been searching for a while and can’t find it anywhere

The one i linked is 50mm
Did u ever figure it out? Ask for bike type??
did you get re coding done to remove the factory e lsd function?

Ask around because if I found one here in buttfuck Minot north Dakota there's gotta be someone!
Isn't it possible to join the front section of the 335i shaft with the rear section of the m3 shaft? Nice job anyways 😉!
It’s not because the two driveshafts have completely different designs for how they attach each half
