If the diff comes out the front it's an "English" axle . If the diff comes out the back it's an "Atlas" axle which also weighs a ton A "Koln" is a fake "Atlas" with weedy half shafts as fitted on export models

Feck me was the mechanics name Richard fricken Turpin

you can get the half shaft out of a koln or atlas in about 10-20 mins and the bearings cost less than £20 each, now even if he took 5 hours a side thats a tenna an hour, not a BMW dealers was it
