I have a 2000 328i and on the highway doing 60 had a slight loss of power in 5th gear that brought me to 53mph in a few seconds. Downshifted and started to smell something. Pulled over rear end smoking. Smoke stopped drove again and from 0-15 no sound anything higher it got louder. Vibration and sound from I believe rear center. After looking under the car the front of the diff facing front of car was wet and it leaked a few drops within 5-10 minutes.
This is leads me to believe the rear diff is toast? Car has 220k in it. I got it at 139k and never checked rear end. I ordered a 3.38 from a 330i auto. I am 5 speed. What do I need for the swap? I understand I will need to switch driveshaft flange. But do I need any special tools? I couldn't find any 328i related threads. If you can link me to a nice one other than the main diff swap diy that's great too.
Looking forward to the 3.38 though
