It looks simple, well swapping the pumpkins at least, and it includes the torque specs for the axles and driveshaft. The HPA differential tool is the same between the platforms, too. I know it's for a 135i, but I was under the impression the 135i and the M235i were mechanically similar, therefore hoped maybe there was an off-chance that those torque specs would remain the same. Can anyone provide any insight to this?
Edit: Just wanted to apologize in advance to anyone coming into this thread from Google or another search looking for the actual specs. |
Document for the swap as well as torque specs attached.
It seems like it's the same procedure whether you have an auto or manual transmission.
Now I have a question for you...

What tool do you plan to use to get the rear axle shafts out of the differential? BMW seems to spec tool 33 5 120 which is about $750-800 - glorified pry bar. Would a simple pry bar or two work?
