In a year you will be able to get this diff for 2200 from Tischer.
Does the price include a core charge? If I had an F30 I would do it in a heart beat. It's a shame that it is the whole unit, and cannot be applied to the 328i, due to the different gearing. The pumpkin is the same.

Pointless BMW thanks.....unless you negotiate for the dealer install at port/delivery. Too bad 99.9% of the people that buy a LSD-less BMW who actually track their car, will never buy this and still go with the quaife or Dinan.

BMW doesn't just add a part and not consider all aspects of how it effects the car in many different situations Therefore as simple as it sounds, It requires tons of additional datalogging. |

I wonder if port install will stick to the September time frame?

Looks like standard e-diff. You can see the inside tire smoking when the dsc is disengaged and other times the inside wheel locks up from having dtc. I have seen 30% lockup diffs that still light up the inside tire, but much less than this. I would venture to say it's the e-diff.

There are no core charges for these diffs at all, as is stated in the original post.
Also, BMW will be releasing a version of this diff for the F30/F32/F33 with manual transmissions soon. The differentials are different between the manual trans and auto trans cars, so they have to be developed separately, to an extent. |

Nice explanation but I believe the E90/92/93 M3 diff and 1M diff where mechanical full-lock, not electronic? Can someone in the know confirm? With that said, 30% for street is way better than open diff but it's a lot of money for 30% plus "lifetime" fill with disassembly to change oil worries me and takes a lot of the excitement about this unit out. |

That is why a lot of BMW guys are hanging out at the s550 forums... Mustangs come with an LSD as standard equipment! And this new Mustang rocks, so..
Ironically, can u imagine a s550, with $3k in aftermarket stuff..? For the price of a M235i (135is), a limited slip differential should stand equipment, or at least a nominal $900 option. Instead, BMW is laughing at us.. (it's not even a M-diff.) |

Do you really, really think that this is making BMW a ton of money and laughing all the way to the bank?? Think about it. This is a very low volume product, for a few people who want more performance out of the F2X or F3X platform. Its a product developed specifically for a few models of car. BMW built this because of people complaining it didn't exist.
Also, you have a 135is with an open diff. I challenge you to get a LSD unit installed with labor/machining etc for less than this offering. In fact, I'd put $100 down on you not being able to. There are already a number of examples in this thread of people reporting that to do this on any car its going to cost around 3k. Plus, you have downtime because the car can't be driven with no differential. Finally, you can't install an "M" diff in any car other than an M car because you would have to completely re-engineer the wiring harness and chassis to be able to handle it...and then you have an M car. Sorry for the rant, but the comments going around about this are ridiculous and unfounded. |
