BMW Z3 Rear Differential Gear Ratio Change and Rebuild
Переглядів 3,1 тис.2 роки тому
In this sweat session I tackle the final step of my manual swap, the rear differential gear ratio change. The 2.8 Z3 auto came with a 4.10 gear set while the manual cars came with a 3.15 ratio.

This was challenging and did requ...
