Hello, I’ve bought a full 330d E91 which I'm stripping for parts to put in an E87 118d. The 118d has a chain rattle, and rather than spend £1000 on getting that fixed it makes more sense to me to upgrade!
The 330d is auto so I’ve ordered a gearbox, flywheel and prop from a breakers which is arriving next week.
In the mean time I’m wondering about differentials and considering whether to also have the manual diff shipped to me. I think these ratios are correct:
118d manual: 2.47
330d manual: 2.35
330d auto: 2.81
I think the 118diff seems close enough ratio it’s only going to be a runabout car for my missus - are the original 1 series diffs strong enough?
