BMW 1 series / 3 series Type 168 rear differential rebuild kit, years 2004 >

Fits all BMW's with the Type 168 rear differential from 2004 >

An easy way to tell if your differential is a Type 168 is to count the bolts holding the rear cover to the diff housing, there should be 7 bolts.

Warning, if your rear cover takes 8 bolts you have a Type 188 differential fitted to your vehicle and these parts will not fit.

Alternatively go on to the realoem website and enter your vehicle details, click on the axle icon, then click on the final drive gasket set icon, no 1 will either be 168 or 188
