A “mostly helpful DIY” on how to change your differential for a quicker ratio. Faster acceleration= more fun.
Take your time with this one so you don’t strip a bolt like I did.
Be safe when jacking up your car ** I am not responsible if you drop a car on your head**
Have fun!
Please put any questions in the comments I will do my best to help.

Do you have to remove exhaust to remove the diff?
This was the video that got me onto Throttle House! You've come a long way ..
Do you have a video for changing out a rear differential in a 2007 x3 3.0 sports edition
Do you think I can swap a diff from a different model with the same chassis?
You cut towards your buddie not your body
I definitely felt the relief of you getting it out these suckers are no joke
NOTHING LIKE A GOOOD NUCKLE BUST IN THE MORNING
Is this an open differential?
I love how there is a ton of oil on shelves. 😉
