guy im getting the thing off already has the box in an aw11. hes actually checked the 'plate' for the car which is where hes getting the e58 notation from. ive no idea if he meant the manufacturer plate or a 'mod' plate stating the part but from what hes told me "Going by the chassis plate its an E58 with LSD."
i doubted it too (auto shafts fitting) but i did want to check. one of the driveshafts with the box might be bent and if it is id either have to use the rhs auto shaft (if its correct fit) or find a rhs shaft elsewhere, to complete the conversion.
already knew about the shifter side mod - thanks spank - but as its already in an aw11 thats already done heh, assuming that car was an aftermarket swap.
yup i was pretty sure the fly was different .. couldnt remember what the bit was -torque converter sounds right. heh so thats settled, i did right asking for the manual fly.
