Unfortunately they only fit US spec 6MT cars for the 135i - they say the EU and AU cars have a different driveshaft flange. They claim it should work for the 6MT if we change the driveshaft flange to a 335i flange, but I can't get anyone knowledgeable locally to confirm that. If I could, it could halve the price of an LSD for a 6MT.
It may be different for the DCT - i'd suggest contacting them.

Correct, I know this because I'm the one told them after they sent me the splined style pinion...i was pretty happy about that
Our cars have the flange for guibo, no way i would change to the spline style...would be a downgrade as theres been a fair few reports of the splined style failing in modded cars
