Question on BMW 3-Series E30 Rear_Suspen

I can clarify the diff attachment/dropping issue.

E30 diffs do attach with 3 bolts. One in the rear and two the the cross member. These directions indicate that you can remove just the one attachment at the rear and the diff will drop down. This is correct IF you have your jack stands at the factory points and NOT on the cross member. If your jack stands are on the cross member it will not drop far enough and you'll have to remove the additional 2 bolts.

Highly recommend placing the jack stands on the factory locations, those 2 bolts are NOT easy to get to.
