And on a private mountain road the speeds I was achieving were quite amazing
First, please note that my 335i is not stock any more and has more than 400bhp and almost 600Nm torque.

But even in stock form an LSD would be immensely helpful for the 335i, I can assure you. Let me drive your car around the Welsh twisties and I'll show you...

- tension struts: 267.43 USD
- lower wishbones: 195.73 USD
- rear guide rods: 452.04 USD
- rear upper links: 234.99 USD
- shipping to Europe: 101 USD
