Did you open up the diff itself to see if there were changes to the actuator mechanism?
There's very little to see through the hole of the m3 diff, it looks like they may have swapped the location of the clutchpack from left to right. That might also account for some of the difference in size btw.
Hi GuidoK, I didn't open the LS carrier unit itself as we cannot get the Clutch packs/friction plates in my Country so We just stripped/rebuilt the diffs on both cars with all new Bearings and Seals.

I'll try and see if i can find some better pics but what i noticed from looking at both, the Z4 uses different looking clutch packs than the M3 and the Z4M has more Clutch packs than the M3.

Also our M3 is a mid 2002 Produced car so could also be the original P/Number before BMW revised it.
