Will not fit. The 3.46 auto final drive from a 2010 is physically smaller and will not bolt in. Read my FAQ, it explains everything with pics
Quaife gets my vote.

Would this pumpkin plug'n'play, ie, bolts on directly to my driveshaft and halfshafts on my manual 2011 135i?
Any other caveats to look out for?
I will be soon placing an order for one of these, in order of higest to lowest preference:
1- Quaife,
2- Turner Motorsport 2-clutch LSD,
3- Turner Motorsport 3-clutch LSD,
4- Turner Motorsport 3 clutch LSD with variable ramp angles.
5- Wavetrac
6- OS Giken (special 75W250 OSG fluid is mandatory, which seems like a PITA)
Looking for a diff that will be quiet (for street use), robust (will track the car often), helps my 135i become more predictable on the track, and more predictable during winter conditions (nice-to-have).
Your thoughts?
