Just wanted to see if anyone knows whether or not an e60 M5 diff is compatible with a non-M e60. I know the gearing is different, but is there anything else?

I checked into this a while back and decided no- unless you can get axles, hub, carrier, etc. This was not by actual trial, but research from REALOEM.com on the models- many different parts. Would love to find a $1500 or less LSD solution.

go with a quaife lsd...

Stupid question, because:
1) gearing is too high for us(3.62 - the M5 has the 7th gear) 2) there is the quaife option, that I chose for first here, that is simpler and cheaper. And absolutely plug and PLAY :) |

1) The gearing for the 545/550 steptronic's is 3.38, so the difference is only ~120 rpm.
2) Used M5 diffs are $1.5k less than a new quaife. Not too shabby of a cost avoidance. 1) the difference is 5% on a already high 3.38. 2) used M5 diffs are free? Beucase a Quaife costs about $1500. |

where can you buy the quaife?
