yes but only have to change if you want. only need a custom prop. but be best to upgrade to a 325 or 328 back axle.

just buy a rusted m3 up north job done, and swap all over

ews unit from behind the glovebox - it's synced with the ecu but anyone selling a engine set should know that (I didnt up to recently haha)

get the big rear diff - I recently sold a full rear axle including brakes, shafts, discs, etc... whole lot 4 nut bolt in job for 380 I'm sure if you looked you could find something like that for similar/less monies... oh and this way you can use an oe prop..

also get these... http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-39...ement-kit.aspx you can buy em from the dealer - just helps so all that POWA doesnt tear a hole in your boot
