Medium differential case variants?
Medium differential case variants?
Are there differences between early and late 188mm diff cases for E28's? Specifically, are some rear case covers with centered E28 (?others?) mounts not compatible with later case housings? Apologies if this has already been extensively addressed.

There is a change date of 9/84 from the round to the rectangular diff mount attached to the body. Expect the diff to have different rear cover for this change.

82 model year diff's are different, they have a unique rear cover. Other year covers and cases are interchangeable, but 82 is a unicorn. The assembly will bolt up to pre 85 cars, but not 85 and up as there is no cover to fit the late bodys and the 82 diff.
