Received the bracket today and finished installing. On first impressions its a good looking piece. It comes nicely packaged and looks pretty dam sturdy.

Install was painless, however one of the holes didn't line up after trying different configurations. I made that hole a tad larger and everything was fine.



Test drive. It does what is was built to do. Wheel hop is 100% gone ( at least for the way I drive) . Prior to the install I had powerflex race bushings and still my car would hop around with my lsd. From what I can tell NVH has not increased and there are no other adverse sounds.This may vary from user to user since I already had the race bushings which does cause some minor NVH.

All in all, awesome product. It does what its supposed to do, it seems sturdy and compliments my M Factory LSD well. Thanks for taking the time Nick.

No problem, any time and thanks for the complements !! I'll make some adjustments and enlarge those diff holes about 1/16.. Enjoy man! Doing donuts, hard starts, hitting gears at redline, no wheel hop at all on my 135i auto.

Thanks again and enjoy! Go pave them streets!!! lol

Got mine in yesterday, installed today. So far so good, EZ install. The hop is gone! Just wish I could get traction in this sub-zero weather. Definitely a win-win, functional and very cost effective!

The lack of wheel hop leads to new tires...

You have any available for DCT fitment?

Not going to lie, not sure if I really suffer from wheel hop. I've noticed wheel hop-like conditions only during the cold and the few times I had to slowly accelerate on a curved incline, but can't tell if both of these are due to lack of traction. Do folks on stock power output really suffer from this regularly?

Yes they can suffer from wheel hop. I'm not sure if the DCT rear differential setup is the same as a 135 or 335.

This TIG welder got me hooked. I get a kick out of this welding with TIG so, I sent back my 140 amp with touch start and got the 160 amp with touch and high freq start with automatic gas shutoff. NICE!!

The one I have now is a Everlast 160 STH

Just two quick questions. I know they sell very expensive lock-down kits so what's the difference? The $$$ one includes bushings and seems very complex while yours is so simple and elegant.

Any harm to the diff pumpkin by installing this?

Thanks!
