Description

BMW E90 Differential mount reinforcement 215mm E91 E92 E93

This differential mount 215mm reinforcement is made for the BMW E90, E91, E92 and E93 with the very large type 215L differential, as found in the 318d up to and including the 325d, the 330xd, the 335i and the 335xi. The bracket helps prevent cracks in the mount and keeps the differential stable while the power goes to the wheels.

Please note: some of these models were built with two different types of differential. So first check that your car really has the 215L differential. If in doubt, send us your chassis number or a photo of the type plate and we will help you check.

Installation and delivery

You bolt the reinforcement onto the differential mount 215mm; no welding is needed. Depending on the version of the subframe, two holes for M10 bolts have to be drilled. Support the differential properly while you work, use good-quality bolts and tighten them to the specified torque.

Treat drilled holes against rust and check the bolts again after the first few kilometres. You will find other reinforcements in the chassis and subframe reinforcements category, and more for the rear axle under differential. If your car has the smaller 188L differential, choose the 188L version.

For the E90 with the 215L differential: a steel bracket that anchors the differential firmly.

Why choose this differential mount 215mm reinforcement?

The more power, the harder the differential pulls on its mount. A crack there is an expensive and time-consuming repair. With this bracket made of 4 mm S355 steel, you give the differential mount 215mm the support a heavy-duty build needs, without welding and with precisely bent parts. That way you can take the step to more torque, a limited-slip differential or grippier tyres with greater peace of mind.

For the E90, E91, E92 and E93 with the 215L differential: 318d up to and including 325d, 330xd, 335i and 335xi.

How can I be sure which differential I have?

Some models were built with two types. Check the type on the differential itself or via the chassis number before you order.

Do I need to weld?

No, the differential mount 215mm reinforcement is only bolted in place. Depending on the type of subframe, you do drill two holes for M10 bolts in the subframe.

What steel is the bracket made of?

4 mm thick S355 steel, laser-cut and bent on a CNC press brake.

How much does the reinforcement weigh?

The reinforcement for the differential mount 215mm weighs 0.75 kg.

Is there also a version for smaller differentials?

Yes, there are separate versions for the 168L and the 188L differential. Always choose the version that matches the type of differential in your car, not its power output.
