Unfortunately the M2 uses different axles and hubs so definitely not plug and play. However your idea of switching the innards seems completely plausible. Except the ring gear is actually welded in the open diffs, so swapping ring gears might be an issue.
That's true, the ring gears are welded on these so swapping the internals is probably not worth the effort. Really hoping it fits perfectly!

M2/3/4 have completely different rear end incl subframe and electronic clutch diff so makes sense that won't be an easy crossover. Even if it did fit, the M235i isn't wired to take advantage of those diffs,,, would it even lockup?
