Not close enough to give a hand but if you have any questions, shoot me an email, I have swapped the diff in E36 many times.

From memory
-unbolt driveshaft (4 bolts)
-unbolt torx bolts E12 on each side of driveaxle (6 or 8 I believe) careful not to strip or they are a bitch
-unclip speed sensor
-3 18mm bolts holding the diff to the rear subframe and diff mount

They say you need to remove the exhaust but I usually get away with just disconnecting the muffler mounts and lowering it a few inches, gives enough room to remove it.
