Take away the physical mounting part of it, the M240i doesn't have the ECU differential control that the M2 does, it is impossible no; but the money that you would spend to get it to work perfectly - easier to go with a mechanical LSD.

(I don’t have much knowledge about differentials and gearing, i just understand the differences between open and LSD, so I don’t know if it’s even possible)

Ok... thank you guys, it's not worth the money or the headaches!!

I was coming across a few M2 LSD's for sale with very low mileage at quite a good price, so i thought the typical "how hard can it be?!"

I've had the MP LSD on my car for almost a year. Very happy with it.

[B58togo]

A year on mine. Love it.

Wavetrac and Quaife gear type LSD are both available.

Thanks!

I have BMW's LSD on my 2020 M240i. One of the best mods I've made to any vehicle.

I want to have this LSD installed on my M240i, but was quoted a whopping $4200 from BMW Chandler in Pheonix. Is that crazy?

Buy it someplace else, and have it installed someplace else. That's always the solution to regular dealership pricing for parts and labor. Your dealership is asking for 50% more than you'll end up paying if you shop around.

From BIMRS.com (https://www.bimrs.org/find-a-shop.html), here are a couple of Phoenix-area independents that can do the same work for you that dealers can:

http://www.bavarianmotorsltd.com/ Bavarian Motors Ltd. 2417 North 16th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85006 (602) 254-7380

https://beyermotorworks.com/ Beyer Motor Works 300 S. 79th Street, Chandler, AZ 85226 (480) 961-9449

You might consider having a set of Turner Motorsport solid aluminum subframe bushings installed at the same time: https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3...ame-mount-kit/. They'll help you get the most out of your new diff. FWIW, on my car I've never noticed the small increase in NVH that they're supposed to add.

Let us know if you are looking for a Quaife or Wavetrac.

My indy said that the BMW book specifies this is a 3.5 hour billable, so that dealer should be reported. I ordered mine this morning from https://www.getbmwparts.com and the install will be $385 at 3.5 hours.

That may be true but different shops will still charge differently for the same job. Our local BMW dealer charges $693 for the same job while we charge $490.

Thanks, man! Good info!

Wavetrac and Quaife require little to no maintenance and will likely outlast the car. Clutch type LSD will require more frequent servicing and rebuilds.

I was playing on the BMW site and it allows you to purchase the M Diff + Labor. What confuses me is the labor cost of only $350? (See attached screenshot) I'm going to call the dealer, tomorrow. BTW...does anyone know of a current Promo Code?

When I put in my zip code, the installation is $687.50.

A local shop quoted me $560 labor for the install.

If you can get it installed at that price, seems like a good price, but I believe you can get the diff cheaper from other places, like around $2,125. I'm sure you couldn't walk into a dealer with a diff you bought somewhere else tho.

I waited for the BMW USA holiday sales and got the diff for ~$1500 and negotiated w/ my SA for ~$500 dealer install. BMW USA shipped it directly to the dealer and they installed it.

The two dealers closest to me want $412.50 and $439.69. The former charges $165/hr. for labor.

[JACKTHECOOK]

Looking for doing the same on mine, no issues with xdelete and the m perf. lsd ?

It was a couple of years ago now, but I remember just seeing a holiday sale on the BMW USA site, looked for the LSD, it was ~1500 and I bought it.
