Putting on: E34 540i Rear Subframe and LSD

91

The parts are being bolted as i post this. I have been running the E34 with my old E30 3:73 LSD mounted on the older, smaller E34 rear subframe. How, you ask?, well that’s because i’ve also been using the M20 long-shaft and most other rear drive parts, including the driveshafts, brakes. That is unacceptable but good enough until now. So I recently found a guy who supplied me with the 540i rear axle complete with:

  • 540i Subframe
  • 540i 2:93 LSD
  • 540i 15mm rear anti roll bar
  • 540i Driveshafts
  • 540i Longshaft
  • 540i Ventilated rear brakes

Here’s yet another installment of my project 550i V12. Though there were plans to bolt on a manual transmission, it has been temporarily shelved.

The final straw came when some technician took it for a drive after correcting the wheel alignment. Anyways, here are some pictures of the disassembled 750i transmission. Look at the size of the torque converter..
