Hi there,
I've got a E36 325 that had had a M3 engine fitted to it (courtesy of Andy F no less) and I'm looking at adding an LSD system to it to give better traction control.
I've been offered a complete M3Evo rear end for the car (subframe, Diff, Shafts brakes), but I'm having some doubts so if you'll indulge me I got some questions before I exchange cash for goods.
1/ how will I be able to tell if the item actually is an evo subframe? are there any identifying marks that I can look for?

2/ will a rear end change be a simple swap in swap out job or are any parts incompatable?

3/ If so, what parts will I need in addition to the rear subframe unit to make it fit?

4/ the rear brakes will be M3evo and the front brakes 325i, are the evo rear brakes uprated items compared to the 325i items and if so can I expect braking problems if I carry out the swap(rear end lock up etc).

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm kinda working in the dark here and not sure what to look for, any advice would be appreciated.
