And seeing as the wavetrac is $1200, that isn't too bad.. but.. my question is.. what's the true cost of getting an LSD in a manual N55 135i? Seeing as the differential is welded..
True cost meaning.. the LSD ( minus the core charge ), installation, and any other costs that may be associated with this. It is... around $1200, right?

Going by what it says on N54Tuning for buying the Wavetrac...

If you are welded you need to select the install kit + core option. Install Kit is 699.00 and the REFUNDABLE core is 800.00 (Total 1499.00) (800.00 core is refunded once your stock pumpkin is sent back)

So it's $1,199 + $1,499 (core + install kit) - $800 (core refund) + labor cost (I don't think this is DIY for most people) = $1,898 + labor.
The install kit seems necessary for welded (manual) but not bolted diffs. Going by what I've seen, Dinan quotes 4.8 hours for install, other places quote up to 8 hours (!!), so I'm assuming something like $400-$800 cost for the install. So, total cost would be $2,298 - $2,698 depending on the installation labor cost for MT. $699 less for an auto that doesn't need the install kit.
