$1800 is steeeeep! Is the $500 core charge refunded when they receive your stock pumpkin? $1300 is still a lot though!

Luckily, the 128i's have bolted ring gears, which means, with major patience, I could possibly swap the diff myself. That'd supposedly ring out to a mere $850...that's $450 in labor savings! Oh, all the skidding about I could do!

EDIT: I just looked at the process for installing an LSD into your own diff. It looks very technical, but not difficult or laborious for someone with the right tools.
