Re: Broken rear diff
Hi
Welcome.
Someone has, and a quick use of the search facility will find it.
The main issue will be getting hold of one to change...

If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....

Re: Broken rear diff
That's an E53 not an E70.....unless this is the wrong section?
What's gone wrong? Any idea of the cause - such as incorrect tyre sizes/choice? And yes, finding a replacement of the right type will be the challenge. Needs to match engine type, gearbox type and possibly model year (for preLCI/LCI cars).

And also must have an imprint of the designers DNA and a thumb print from the second cleaner on the night shift on every opposing Tuesday...
Which would probably be easier to get hold of than a diff unfortunately!!
