ZHP: "330is" or "///M330i"?

[Avetiso]

I have a 06 E46 M3 Diff with 60K miles on it sitting in my garage for the last two years. Its up for grabs now if anyone wants it. I picked up a Hiop LSD brand new locally and now have no need for an M3 swap conversion.

Someone wants it? Just pay shipping costs and it's yours!

Heart of gold, right there. Crickett, you were in the right place at the right time.

Forgot to mention, yes, it is just the diff and diff alone. No other external components or anything.

This should be everything you need here, if you do the "minimal" swap, then you will only need driveshaft, left and right half-shafts, carrier and sway bar. This was the route, i was going to take. When I sourced out just these parts, I was looking at about $750 (carrier, halfshafts, sway bar) - $1000 (everything including driveshaft). So just be prepared, its a project for sure!

Here is an image of what you need

Well, if his wife doesn't allow, I'll take 2nd dibs!

Finally got the wife to see what an amazing opportunity this is & will be having bullfrogs_M3 send it my way!

As for the issue of 4dr's with is badges, the E28 535is was badged that way so it makes sense for a 4dr to have an is badge

Ah, excellent point. Therefore, I approve of the 330is name for all ZHPs.

I forgot about the E28 535is, and I even test drove one about 7 years ago.
