02/08 build and an lsd - anyone done this?
Hi all Want to put an lsd in my car but there appears to be massive confusion as to the diff type (welded or bolted) that I have. I am trying to avoid having to drop the diff to find out. Spoken to manufacturers and even poor Andrew at SouthernBM has received conflicting info. Has anyone ACTUALLY put a lsd in a 02/08 car and what diff type was it? It's a long shot, but thanks for looking! edit - tis a manwel

Thanks for the reading drjekl. Only adds to my confusion! The odds favour the welded diff. Hoping to avoid the expense of this option. Not sure I can justify a $3000 option. Ps As I edited above, the car is a manual.

Hmm well I'm no expert but I believe you would have a welded diff (I read somewhere that bmw developed this technique as it was a cheaper to reduce productions costs)
I have a BNIB wavetrac for sale that will suit all years of 135i's MT for $1100 (if you're bolted it bolts straight in, if you're welded you would have to machine and drill the ring gear to fit it - well the diff specialist would not you personally!) |
