on my ex M3 i had to remove the differential... in the 318is which has got a smaller diff i don't know if you can do it anyway, so i suggest you to loose the diff bolts without removing it, push it as far as you can from the wishbone (it moves just 1 inch) and then try to loose the bolt #14; the piece #15 cannot rotate cause it is blocked in a little hole of the diff cage.
anyway that bolt requies a lot of time to be removed
