Dinan does sell a quaife or wavetrac lsd. They package it in a box with a big D on it and mark it up nicely for those who are trying to get points for a dinan trunk badge
True. Back in '09, nobody really liked 'em. Truth was, if tire pressure was exactly as recommended and temp was, preferably, over 60 deg F, they were tolerable but a cut or two below PS2's. Bets off, you hit a pothole.

Now 3's suspension is improved and PS2's are replaced by PSS's. OP should replace RFT's w/same if adding delrin [M] bushings/ball joints or simply to improve his ride & handling.

Dinan does OEM a Quaife LSD, last I heard, but only for MT - no DCT's allowed. Odd - LSD's readily available for DCT.

I assumed 335is suspension has all the deficiencies of a 335i; maybe not entirely so.

Not entirely wrong either....e-diff....those subframe bushings & sways....steel arms fitted w/rubber baby bumpers....yikes!
