Different from our one, it actively shifts power from wheel to wheel if I'm not mistaken?
Kinda like the vectoring diffs in Audis, the X6 etc.

Actually, if in fact the late Barry Sheene was correct, when you get off onto wet grass you actually accelerate. NASA & ESA should utilise this property, as should CERN. |

Very interesting read here from the main forum, with datalogs to back up his conclusions. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=719012

So to answer the OP's question,
drag racing? Maybe. The electronic differential is very good providing straight line traction. A mechanical LSD is likely not going to make a big difference here.

I think Advan will have some interesting ideas about how to get a great LSD setup on your 335 or 135 in the near future.

There are a few videos in the above thread with guys drifting their stock 135i's without much drama. Still, the eLSD is more of a reactive rather than proactive system so it makes it harder. That doesn't mean it's a totally reactive system however, the logs from the post show that braking force is gradually applied to the inside wheel REGARDLESS of whether there is traction loss or not. It seems like the system is more intuitive than we give credit for.

But then the M boys wouldn't have anything to gloat about.

I'm still really surprised at how easy it is to lose the rear-end now that I have an LSD. I'm going to wakefield tomorrow so will be able to appreciate the diff there |

Hee hee. Funny as it is, it's always the first situation I notice an LSD or lack thereof in a new car!

Crickey !! I have 56k on mine and the original rear brake pads are still pretty good. Have done a couple oftrack days to, maybe haven't been punting it hard enough, or perhaps it doesn't activate as much when the nannies are of.

Are you running a tune on your car? Extra power might be what's causing mine to activate so often.

[QUOTE=Jeef Beef;12385300]The eLSD works regardless of whether the nannies are on or off, plus on track days my nannies are off anyway. And also on the road when there's good weather and I want to give it a bootfull....
Are you running a tune on your car? Extra power might be what's causing mine to activate so often.[/ Yes it has a jb4 and downpipe. Not sure how much power it makes as it has never been on a dyno. Terminal speed at the drag strip is 113 mph Maybe I need to drive it harder. What sort of times have been getting at the track ? Cheers |
