How can you tell how much weight can an additional planetary gear set and a pair of electronically controlled multi-plate clutches add to the differential?!
It all depends on the size of the original differential...
Besides, I thought you were the one who said that the 135i already weighted like a
pig... maybe there's an explanation after all...
«With Dynamic Performance Control, up to 1800 Newton meters of force can be distributed among the rear wheels in fractions of a second. This BMW innovation makes higher lateral accelerations possible and enables sportier acceleration out of a curve. It also makes driving simultaneously safer and more dynamic-even for vehicles without four-wheel drive.
Development of Dynamic Performance Control is not yet complete. Combined with an integrated chassis management system and BMW Active Front Steering, additional safety, comfort and convenience functions can be implemented before the first production phase-in. During their three to six-month familiarisation period, new BMW Group Chassis Development employees explore a wide variety of interesting technical issues.»
