2020 BMW M50i Front Differential Install Part 2

I finally got the differential installed in the BMW. You must remove the sub frame, most of the suspension and the driveshaft for starters.
Very big job! But got it done and saved over $4000 doing it!

Nice job brother! You aren't scared to take on any mechanical project. Proud of you! It's that get it done mentality that's going to take you to the top!! Can't wait to see more on the HMMWV.

Thanks brother!

Were you ever a Mechanic in an official capacity in the past....cuz, I gotta say, as one...that was a MAJOR Job! One that even shops would skip a beat before they agreed to take it in. Kudos man, I hope BMW got their sheet together on the new part...cuz that was way to short of a lifespan on the original!!

[@SplitBuilds]

Nope I was never a mechanic 🤣 just trail and error! Thanks man!

[@dalechristensen3640]

100% you need new shoes on that BMW! Great job! You're fearless. 😊

Thanks brother

Bro, I’m happy that have worked out well for you 👍

Amazing job man! Also with the video, my mechanic has to change it from my car next week and he told me it looked really complicated, so it will be super useful. Do you remember how much fluid did you use? The whole 2 bottles? Thanks!

Awesomeness!!!

Thanks for the video. My front diff started leaking today. Made it back to NC from CT just in time. What is part number of axle shaft seal you broke? Could you have used an engine support bar instead of the cherry picker? Did you use a Bentley manual for directions or just wing it?

[@CliffWagner]

Great job brother as always and congrats on saving the $4k! I'd be interested in knowing the artist and song title you used from Epidemic Sound. Thanks and all the best!

Probiotic and big big man are the 2 songs on the video

Doing the same thing and can’t find the plastic axle cover. Where do you find it?

[@SplitBuilds]

I didn’t. It’s part of the axle… you would have to replace the whole axle. It’s honestly not needed.

Nice! What is new on the latest Humvee?

[@SplitBuilds]

Trying to get it started!!

[@Technikfix]

Humvee?
