LSD for 230?
Anyone add LSD to a 230i?
Thinking about buying a 230i manual and wondering about the MPP of one, not sure if the cost is worth it when it starts getting into M2 territory. Long story short, thinking a 230 is really all the car most of us need blah blah blah... |

Building a custom unit (through diffs-online or similar) is probably the best bet. Im going to get a Wavetrac based unit installed once my factory warranty is up.
And yes, I agree with you 100% that the B48 is more than enough. Address the car’s main defiencies - more camber, 245mm tires up front and lighter wheels, an LSD, a muffler delete for better noise, and someday a flash tune once the ECU encryption is broken - and a 230i will be perfect.

I have a 228i and ordered a Quaife LSD. I'm having trouble finding a shop capable of installing it in my country though, because the open diff in our cars has a welded crown wheel that has to be machined out for the conversion.
The MP one at least is just a simple swap, something worth considering also. Quaife however is a install and forget, doesn't require maintenance and should last for ever. |
