Cheaper to do it this way for a basically race only setup versus dealing with all the electronic nannies that BMW tosses at you. Hope that helps a bit.

I agree with you 100%. Just trying to figure out why you would do this on a 335i rear. Like you said, it ducks on the street and it's really only for trailering a car to the strip and dragging it. Since our cars suck at the strip and there are lots of options for a LSD, which is just as good, I'm not sure what good this is for except a dedicated drag car, which I've never seen before made from a 335i. If I were gonna do that, I'd put a Ford 9" in instead. This rear takes away the cars strength which is cornering. I was suspecting that since welded rear is a term commonly used for the housing of 335i and not the gears, that this was the case instead.
Can you tell us who did the work and have any pics?
