This is a genuine BMW limited slip diff.unit, part number 33 14 2 227 401. The number stamped on the part is 33142227401; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 2227401. You will find it on our Suspension shelf, under Other Rear Axle parts. It supersedes the older number 2227402, so a part carrying that number is the same part.

It fits the E36 sedan, coupe and convertible (M3, 1996–1999), with the S50 engine.

BMW draws it on 3 diagrams, among them Differential-Limited Slip Diff.Unit (33_0085) and limited slip differential assembly (33_1089). It weighs about 11 kg (25 lb).

We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
