E90 320i Differential noise...repair/replace advice

[fick1wp]

Howsit Peeps.

So basically my Diff is making Winey Winey Winey like a reggae beat ear me now...and apparently this will cost me around 10k minimum.

Are there any other cheaper options? Like an overhaul? or Bearing replacements?

I'm from CPT Southern Suburbs.

Any advise or suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks. So far i've only found one diff for R6800. Was thinking if its around R9000 to recondition, should i risk it with a 2nd hand diff that could give in at any time? Mmm

Dude that’s crazy

Where did u try look for one your diff should be the 168 casing size if I am correct. And 6800 is what I paid for both of my e90 188 casing diffs and those aren’t as common as a 320k diff
