Originally posted by cornerbalanced View PostI will be replacing my diff bushings soon. Does anyone have a parts number last handy of the diff bolts & nuts I will need to replace while doing the bushings? I looked on realoem and didn’t find much success, I also remember some of the bolts being updated which was not reflected in realoem.

If you are replacing the cover, you need that, the gasket, the updated bolts for rear mounts (23-00-1-222-891) and if you are doing the front bush, you could replace that bolt if needed as well. Real OEM is pretty clear on the P/Ns--I used that for my rear diff cover/front diff bush replacement parts list.

Replacing with AKG bushings, so will not need the cover. From what I understand, I will need:
1x 33177840535 (large bolt for front bushing)
2x 23001222891 (torx looking bolts for cover)
And that should be it? 3 bolts total?

Yeah 3 total. Two for the cover and one for the front.
Also, unsolicited advice, but highly advice against poly bushings. They're LOUD. And not in a cool "racecar, straight cut gears" way. At 70-80 mph, it's just a single high pitched tone resonating non stop in the cabin.
Get the E36 bushings if you don't want to replace the entire cover. You can press them in pretty easily with the diff out of the car. Keep in mind that they're slightly shorter than the cover, so make sure they're flush with the back (face facing the front of the car with diff installed) of the cover. Part number 33171134872. Front diff bushing you can just replace with OE.2002 Topasblau M3 - Coupe - 6MT - Karbonius CSL Airbox - MSS54HP Conversion - Kassel MAP - SSV1 - HJS - PCS Tune - Beisan - MK60 Swap - ZCP Rack - Nogaros - AutoSolutions - 996 Brembos - Slon - CMP - VinceBar - Koni - Eibach - BlueBus - Journal

Loctite 5970 is great for the diff. cover, and plenty of others things.
You'll want to torque the bolts fairly quickly, you really don't need to wait for it to "tack up" like store bought RTV according to the instructions.2004 Silbergrau Metallic 6MT

RTV is supposed to be used. The paper gasket is still made but BMW has since gone away from this says to use RTV. All modern cars have RTV only. Seems to work better as diff cover leaks are not something I see really ever unless it's an E46.

True. But on the next disassembly, one must scrape off old RTV and surface prep accordingly. In my industry, RTV is used, and it's due to cost--cheaper than gasket. But in the field, is it really better...2008 M3 Sedan 6MT
