I designed a diff lock down bracket that is VERY strong and easy to install. It's a bolt in with a nut plate for where you have to bolt it to the sub frame (I'm doing that to ease the installation).

These are made to order and will take less then three days to fab up as I will be doing this in my spare time. If you want one, please send me a PM and I will respond with my paypal address. This is for the small pumpkin (Auto) and the Large pumpkin as well, we are now making both....... This will fit both the coupe and convertible, this was designed for the convertible which has additional bracing which limits room. But this will fit both body styles.

I can't show you a picture directly from the rear because of the additional bracing on a convertible blocks most of the view. You can see some of it in the left side of the first picture. You can also see some bracing that goes directly under the pumpkin which is connected to the brace in the left side of the picture as well. I'm sure you will like it! I took my E88 out for a ride after the install and did some burn outs, donuts and overall beat on it. No additional noise or wine at all and the best part, NO MORE WHEEL HOP!! I must stress if your rear suspension has been changed from stock that moved the pumpkin down or up in location, you will need to modify this bracket.

If you have any fitment issues please take a picture and email it to me so I can see the problem. Not every car is exactly the same and the pre-drilled holes in the subframe WILL vary a bit from car to car but I try to design the bracket to take into account for some variations.

If anything happens to it, weld comes apart or anything, send it back and I will fix it for free for the first 2 years. All TIG welded.

I'm interested in this. Hopefully you'll have specs to produce for the large diff soon.

BMWX1-35i · 01-13-2015, 09:14 AM

EDIT- I'm all ready to go and fab a large or small lockdown bracket!!

Thanks, I'm hoping to have everything all set in no more then a few weeks. The small diff I can make now, the large diff will be in about two weeks. I'll keep this post up to date.

Looking forward to the large version. Do you have a test car for it?

Ok, I'll be posting very soon when these will be available..

ShocknAwe · 01-15-2015, 08:25 PM

Looking forward to it!

On another note, what kind of testing have you done to ensure proper structural durability?

BMWX1-35i · 01-15-2015, 08:30 PM

Well if you call beating on my car with multiple hole shots testing then yes.

mike082802 · 01-15-2015, 09:11 PM

in for a large one

Sure will, I will PM all that has shown an interest that posted in this thread. I should be ready sometime this weekend.

wildacex187 · 01-21-2015, 10:17 AM

Interested in a brace for a manual also.

zbrit00x · 01-23-2015, 09:29 AM

Looking forward to one for the manual too!

BMWX1-35i · 01-23-2015, 09:57 AM

I have a small delay and should ready no later then Monday. Sorry for the delay, our wonderful USPS service strikes again.

MakeItRaine · 01-24-2015, 02:02 PM

Been following your thread, I'd like to be included in the PM list for the large diff as well. Thanks and hope all goes well.

bokyo1987 · 01-26-2015, 06:30 PM

PM me as well when they're available. Thanks.

BMWX1-35i · 01-26-2015, 07:15 PM

Well do. USPS and this weather in the north east is killing me.

BMWX1-35i · 01-26-2015, 11:04 PM

I'll be ready this week, its just this BIG storm I'm getting hit with is putting a damper on a delivery I'm waiting for. Based on what USPS is telling me, it should be here tomorrow but we are right in the middle of getting 10 - 12 inches of snow dumped on us. Should be definitely ready to start taking orders by Wed or thurs.
