E46 BMW Differential Swap DIY

A "mostly helpful DIY" on how to change your differential for a quicker ratio. Faster acceleration= more fun.
Take your time with this one so you don't strip a bolt like I did.
Be safe when jacking up your car * I am not responsible if you drop a car on your head*

Have fun!

Please put any questions in the comments I will do my best to help.
