    Diff Leak Location? (photo included)

    Hey, y'all. Got my first Z3 a few months back and have since noticed the classic "diff whine" issue. I found this single photo in a recent service record that shows the diff case is leaking. It was not addressed at the time of service. Being a newbie I'm looking for insight and maybe some...

    Refreshed rear suspension update

    I replaced a ton of stuff. Giubo, center support bearing, transmission mounts, engine mounts, roll/sway bar bushings, subframe bushings, differential bushing, trailing arms, yet I am still getting a clunking sound while shifting gears unless I rev match perfectly.

    Diff and gearbox oil

    Having just 'learned' to change engine oil, filters and spark plugs I'm now turning to the gearbox and diff oil. The gear change on my 2.8 is rather clunky and as I have no idea if it has been changed or not I think this might be worthwhile. But my question is this....although there is a...
