Just came across this on BMWs website. Idk if this is new or a mistake on their website, but until I saw this, I thought the M performance LSD wasn't available for Xdrive models. Wasn't even an option that popped up on their website.
I know the new M340 Xdrive comes with an LSD, so maybe adapted from that if it's the same system? https://www.shopbmwusa.com/PRODUCT/5...P-DIFFERENTIAL

It should help transfer power between the rear wheels if one is slipping more than the other. ESC sort of mimics this through breaking, which really isn't as efficient, or fun. Xdrive only transfers power from the rear to front axel as needed. This is my best understanding anyway.

It’s on my list to add to my xdrive 240. It will help put power down to the rear wheels, meaning less transferring of power to the front during wheel slip. This will improve cornering grip and handling as the car is asking less from the front wheels. It will also mean traction control isn’t needed as much during go go fast time since the wheels will mechanically transfer power before brake intervention tries to slow one down. I’m a fan of grip.

... probably not. If anything it will just speed up the wearing of the rear tires. So... yay?

My 2002 WRX came with a rear limited slip from the factory, so others apparently see the value of LSD in a all-wheel drive car.

My M235i is not x-drive but the LSD has made a very noticeable difference. I am happy I did this install even with getting the wrong one and having to install it twice. ///Rich |
