Great video (both parts) George. What symptoms led you to refurb the differential? I have an E60 550i on 128k miles with a couple of drivetrain niggles that I'm trying to pinpoint.
What were the issues you were experiancing before? Love the pride GW took in repainting something which will probably never see the light of day again. Great vid
On the end of video you said that now you dont have a strange noises from the diferential or from wheels. I have bmw f10 and I have problem with the noise in the car then I drive above 100km/h. I have the new tires, all 4. What do you think, what could be my problem? And you have amayzing videos👍
Haha mine has too. What are your symptoms? Mine makes a clunking noise everytime I change gear at low speeds- quoted £700 for a full refurb and fit near wolverhampton..
@@GeorgeAusters Yeah will do when I can afford it lol. Im in Lichfield so not that much further tbh.. Had to change a driveshaft and sensor last month on my e92 as well.
Hey, i have the powerflex as well. But I got a howling noise at 80km/t when letting off on the gass. Dident hear it with the original bushings. Did you hear some noises from the diff when changing to powerflex?
Hi George, as mentioned earlier - that refurbished diff look just niice. I wish I would have someone like Mike. Curently due to lack of proffesionals I think I will do it on my own and learn something new. By the way what brand of 75w90 do you use. Just to know if its the same like mine E91 325 XI. My both diffs use Ravenol 75W90 (fulfill BMW SAF-XO), transmission Ravenol 75w80 (MTF-LT2) and transfer case Ravenol TF-0870. Keep doing great man!
I have rhythmic growling noise and some vibrations at 50-70 mph on my e90 / 116k , bmw dealer diagnosed worn out rear diff internal parts , another bmw specialist diagnosed rear wheel bearing , who do I believe ?
BMW dealer in Bromley was wrong , issue solved with rear wheel bearing replacement at a BMW specialist garage , do not believe main dealers as they want to rip you off !!
@@GeorgeAusters well ok but could you at least say roughly how much does it cost £600 or £1000. Yours was probably done for free or with a big discount for the free add on your youtube channel
@@GeorgeAusters i mean i am about to change my diff and i do not know what sokets did you use to loose the bolts on comected to the driveshaft and the rear axles?
Well done George, told you it was a 2 man job 🤣 do you find you get a little diff whine now with the poly bushes installed when giving full throttle? I tend to get a little but from what I’ve heard on forums it’s normal with those bushes
Fantastic end result, George! I must say I really admire all the work you manage to pull off without a lift! Good start on the project!Tore.
Thanks Tore.. It really would help if I had a lift though lol!
@@GeorgeAustersdo the short axle “stubs” connected to the diff (the flange that the axle bolts to) just pull off? How are they removed? Thanks!
@bobsuruncle8520 Yes
Great video. Seldom you see diff videos. I learned a lot. And Mike seems to be an expert. Well done.
So I pulled off the drive shaft can you tell me some things I have to check on the diff on what I have to check on the drive shaft
I am having a problem with my BMW E60 I do not know if it is the driveshaft are the diff what a nice is coming from one of them
how often should these have their oil changed/serviced?
Brilliant vid mate. Well worth knowing gear lab just in case also.
Absolutely! thanks mate
Don’t stop what your doing buddy
Fantastic video George 👍
Great job mate. Did you have play in the diff when you switch from D to R ? How much was the diff refurb ? Is it worthy to buy a sh one ?
Another great vid George
*Great Video George 👍....but we were wondering how did you jack up the car on all 4s ? 😐 can you make a video on this and show safety tips ...thanks*
I have made a video how to lift up a BMW. Search it on my channel👍🏻
Excellent video thanks 😊👍
Great video (both parts) George. What symptoms led you to refurb the differential? I have an E60 550i on 128k miles with a couple of drivetrain niggles that I'm trying to pinpoint.
The most annoying rear end clunk when you release the clutch
Great video as always mate!
Do you notice a massive difference with the poly bushes?
Nice and I like the fact you advertise legit real service not some kind of online bulshit like most youtubers do.
🙏🏼
What were the issues you were experiancing before? Love the pride GW took in repainting something which will probably never see the light of day again. Great vid
Can I use same bolts and nuts or should I replace them?
For what?
Do you think the 80nm from cv axel to differential would be the same for the 750li ??
Wow wow wow. Brand new. Looks amazing.
Thank you! It virtually is brand new :)
@@GeorgeAusters i saw, you can realy cal it new. I think i am going to do the same. My diff is also shit🤣
Get it done then👌🏼
I think the diff guy was being polite saying the planet gears dont often need changing. He meant unless you boot it all the time......yes.
On the end of video you said that now you dont have a strange noises from the diferential or from wheels.
I have bmw f10 and I have problem with the noise in the car then I drive above 100km/h. I have the new tires, all 4. What do you think, what could be my problem?
And you have amayzing videos👍
Could be quite a few things really!
Hey bro, great work on this vid, just wanna ask how it cost u to get that diffrential refurbished?
Best to call Mike for a quote for your diff as prices will have changed from a couple years ago
Have you used Mannol 75w 90 gear oil in the new differential?
Are there any noises or vibrations with the Powerflex bushings? Can you feel some difference while driving?
Hard to tell but no bad noises👍🏻
I'm 100% giving them a call, my e93 diff has shit the bed so need to get something sorted!
You won’t regret it mate. Let them know I sent you👍🏻
Haha mine has too. What are your symptoms? Mine makes a clunking noise everytime I change gear at low speeds- quoted £700 for a full refurb and fit near wolverhampton..
@@Mattboulton88 Likely is the diff. Give GearLab a call mate!

I think so
@@GeorgeAusters like a howling noise? With your new diff as well?

What is the price of this operation?
Best to get in touch with Mike mate👍🏻

I e just had my e92 done and that cost 1105 😢
Hey. What bits did yiu use for the shaft bolts and for the axle bolts?
What do you mean?
@@GeorgeAusters i mean i am about to change my diff and i do not know what sokets did you use to loose the bolts on comected to the driveshaft and the rear axles?
E14 sockets I think👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters thanks a lot
Another question. How much time did the job take with the removal of the exhaust and ghr heat protections arround the shaft?
Well done George, told you it was a 2 man job 🤣 do you find you get a little diff whine now with the poly bushes installed when giving full throttle? I tend to get a little but from what I’ve heard on forums it’s normal with those bushes
Haven’t noticed any whining noises thus far👍🏻
Shouldn't you tighten up everything more once everything is put together rather than leaving the drive shaft out. N tightening like you did
Doesn’t make a difference
How much does it cost to refurb the diff? Thanks
Give GearLab a message mate!
Should of taken it to Birds garage to get a Quaife LSD fitted at the same time.
LSD on a 520D?
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Wow such an awesome video, thank you for posting...
Glad you enjoyed it!
You should put a GoFundMe page for a quickjack lift, I am sure quickjack would discount it for you..
I don’t think I could just ask people to buy one for me. Ideally I want to build a garage with a lift in when I buy a house👍🏻
💪
