Thinking about a set of 4.10’s for my car… but would like to find a shop to assemble the diff (i will remove it from my car and bring in the diff & gears) anybody use any shops locally to setup their gears? i guess the BMW gears are pretty finicky when it comes to tolerances… ive never done this myself or would consider it… ---

Fleet pride=NO that was the place :tup: dropped my mustang off to get my 4.11’s installed a few years ago. When I went to pick it up, he said that the car needed a few things before he could do them (I forget exactly what the problem was). I was a little disgruntled at first, but huge tup to them identifying a problem and NOT installing the gears only to make problems worse. Seemed like a very stand up guy and have heard nothing but good things about him and his shop ---

If i where you i would find a place the specializes in bmws.There maybe special tools required to do these.Even the newer vettes require special tools that most places dont have.When i did a vette at work we had to borrow tools threw the dealer to put it back together.I could be wrong.But better safe than sorry. ---

^ probably I would think that it’s ECU controlled though, so a simple flash/tune would probably take care of it ---

Speedo wont be off… The speedo is based off of the front wheel sensors… @ 70 its 3500 RPM so not TOO bad… stock is ~ 3k I’m trying to decide if i want to keep the car and S/C it, or just do 4.10’s and buy a project car i can smack up… @ this point it doesn’t make sense for me to get another daily driver. ---
