Looking to go LSD? The diff you should all buy...

And the computer doesn't trow any odd codes?
I drive my 135 every day and this would be perfect for the odd winter storm we have here in NJ

No codes. The car doesn't know the difference.

NICE!
I may have to get this next year!
For those of us who live where there is snow and ice once in a while...that open diff really kills us!

I had Jim at Performance Gearing build me an LSD for my e90 330i as well. I can't remember if it was 3.38 or 3.46.

Anyway, I am looking at installing one on my new to me 2010 135i now. I remember on my e90, it would do weird things with the DSC unless I turned it completely off. I believe things have changed with DSC a little, so I'm wondering if the eDiff can be turned completely off or not so as to not interfere with the mechanical diff.

I've had nothing weird happen regardless of DSC settings, i run with it completely off most of the time, just because that's the way I like to drive. But i haven't seen any issues with the diff in any manner, and i beat the snot outta it.

Does the diff come with fill and drain plugs, somebody asked but you forgot to answer.

I think its pretty awesome of them to not charge you up front for the core.

I noticed that BR Racing has a warranty of three years on their differentials. Wavetrac and Quaife both have a limited lifetime warranty. Maybe this is what explains the lower BRR pricing.

As a side note, BR Racing seem to carry a lot of BMW Performance parts at great prices.

Great find, and I will definitely include them in my short list of vendors.

e36addict · 12-11-2013, 09:40 AM

So there are no options for us poor DCT guys? It's a 2.56, correct? So spending $4k+ for a quaife is my only option? I don't want to bump up to 3.08...

dcaron9999 · 12-11-2013, 01:32 PM

Newsflash: BR RAcing has changed their policy and their pricing ...

Prices just went up:

$2450 3.08 ratio
$2450 3.46 ratio
$2750 3.64 ratio

... and for new customers, they now charge for the cores up front...

Looks like I bought at the right time. Still not a terrible price.

No it doesn't come with a drain plug. Only fill. You still have to pump it out or remove the cover.

You wouldn't be able to anyways, the diff is completely different.

Quaife or Wavetrac.
It's possible to do for well under $4k, I did including shipping to Australia.

dcaron9999 · 12-13-2013, 09:36 AM

Prices at BR Racing just went up again, twice in a week - WTF!

$2950 3.08 ratio
$2950 3.46 ratio
3.64 ratio no longer available ...

Got to stop posting on forums read by these guys ...

Time to get a Wavetrac from competitors for a $1000 less ...

Keep it oem get the m3 rear sub frame / diff upgrade works like a charm and bolts on nicely with a tiny modification to the drive shaft

onefast1 · 01-14-2014, 07:16 PM

Really wish prices hadn't gone up. $600 is a big price increase with the addition of up front core charge... Still a good deal but makes me think of going another route. OP, hows it holding up? Still running quiet?

Price is about $200 less straight from performance gearing rather than the BR Racing site.

Thing runs great. Although I admit that it sucks about the price increase, It was a killer deal when I bought it, but now is right in line with everything else.

I love the 3.46 gearing. Recommended to everyone!
