How to remove and install Differential on BMW Z4?

New driveshaft rear coupling nuts and driveshaft retaining bolts will be required on installation. Begin by chocking the front wheels, loosening the rear wheel bolts, raising the rear of the vehicle, and securely supporting it on jackstands before removing both rear wheels. If necessary, drain the differential unit. Use paint or a suitable marker pen to make alignment marks between the driveshaft and differential unit flange, then unscrew and discard the nuts securing the driveshaft to the differential unit, as new ones must be used on installation. Loosen and remove the retaining bolts and plates securing the right-hand driveshaft to the differential unit flange, supporting the driveshaft by tying it to the vehicle underbody with a piece of wire to prevent damage to the CV joint. Discard the bolts, as new ones should be used on installation, and disconnect the left-hand driveshaft from the differential. Remove the heat shield panel from the left-hand end of the tension strut beneath the differential input shaft flange by unscrewing the nuts/bolts. Disconnect the electrical connector from the speedometer drive on the rear of the differential unit if equipped, then loosen and remove the left- and right-hand stabilizer bar mounts. Position a jack to support the weight of the differential unit, ensuring it is safely supported before removing the two bolts securing the front of the unit and the single bolt securing the rear. Carefully lower the differential unit out of position and remove it from underneath the vehicle, examining the differential unit mounting bushings for signs of wear or damage and replacing them if necessary. For installation, reverse the removal process, ensuring to raise the differential unit into position and engage it with the driveshaft rear joint while aligning the previously made marks. Tighten the differential unit mounting bolts to the specified torque setting, install the new driveshaft joint nuts and tighten them to the specified torque, and install the stabilizer bar mountings. Finally, install the new driveshaft joint retaining bolts and plates, tightening them to the specified torque, and refill or top-up the differential unit with oil upon completion.

BMW Z4 Differential

The BMW Z4 Differential allows the sporty roadster to corner smoothly by sending the power of the engine to each wheel in the rear at varying speeds while maintaining high levels of traction. Drawing from iconic BMW heritage, across the life of the Z4, two chief Differential styles have been fitted, the open unit and the limited slip version, both sitting between the rear wheels because the car is rear driven. The open design uses intermeshed gears that will always divide torque equally, so a turn feels natural, but one spinning tire can take power away on ice or gravel. This Differential device feels predictable on dry pavement but can falter in situations of low traction. The limited slip setup adds clutches and a spring pack that allows the wheels to turn at varying speeds and send extra torque to the wheel that has a better grip on the road, providing added daily BMW Z4 enjoyment and quicker exits as well as a stronger straight line pull, but sometimes would break traction momentarily if starting on a very slick surface. Whichever Differential a driver gets, new lubricant and quick attention to any clank or rattle increase overall Differential reliability, protecting against expensive damage and maintaining the balanced handling that defines every BMW Z4 in the larger performance family.

If you are looking for OEM BMW Z4 Differential, we highly recommend to shop with us. Not only do we offer budget friendly prices, but we also provide fast delivery. In addition, we have a hassle-free return policy on all genuine BMW Z4 Differential that come backed by the manufacturer's warranty.
