BMW 215LW Diff Rebuild Kit (2006-current)
Two options for this kit:
1. Kit to suit the ball bearing differentials in 135i, 235i, 140i, 335i etc. (*in-house only)
2. Kit to suit ball/taper differentials in E60 M5 and E90 M3.
This is a full rebuild kit containing everything needed to fully rebuild the BMW 215K differential. This kit fits the large 215K sized differentials which use ball bearings. Use this kit for most late model 1-series, 2-series, 3-series, 4-series, 5-series, 6-series, 7-series and X-series BMWs with the common diff bearing failure. This includes the 135i DCT or Manual, 235i DCT or Manual, 335i DCT or Manual and many v8 and V12 BMWs including the 750i and 750iL vehicles with the ball bearing type differential. These differentials often suffer noise, differential failure and bearing failure. Now it's possible to fix your noisy 215K sized diff. This is a much better option versus a used differential which may not last, and is often cheaper too. Diff Lab rebuilds these diffs in-house and offers these diffs on exchange. This is the most complete kit available anywhere in the world, and it is the cheapest.
The kit includes:
- 3x seals
- 2x ball bearings
- 2X taper bearings
- crush sleeve
- lock plate
- drain plug washer
A 215K shim kit is not included, but this would be required if you are changing the ring and pinion, or adding an LSD. You could not re-assemble the diff without a shim kit if you're using non-original internals. Your pre-loads and backlash will be way off target, and you risk permanent damage to the differential.
* Note
This 135i/335i 215LW kit is listed for reference only. These assemblies are performed in-house at Diff Lab, which is currently the only shop with entire 215LW kits which replace all bearings in the differential with OE ball bearings.
