No not really. There are a number of people that went with to a LSD differential and their DSC didn't go out of wack with the new unit. I have a customer with a 2002 540i which didn't come with a LSD and he installed one just recently and worked great.

Ok, watch this 335i Hartge with the Quaife LSD and let me know whether it works well with our car or not.

Okay... assuming that Hartge didn't do anything to the stock traction control program in that car, than I am 100% convinced! Does anybody know if Hartge altered the TC program? If that is how it works with the stock traction control, I will be aiming to invest in an LSD for my 323i to improve my winter traction. |

That car reviewed is Birds Hartge car. He told me earlier that it is stock traction control and his works fine too. |

The shop that put my Quaife in said it acts the same as the BMW's with the standard LSD in it. They race BMW's and are a respected shop locally so i trust their experience. My car engine will still cut out if it can't get any traction from both wheels at the same time, just like the 1 wheel version. |

Have you run into slippery roads with your qualife yet? |

The car makes way better use of the power with the Quaife, especially in the wet. I guess it's like having 50 more hp if you look at it that way. I know my 1/4 mile time will be faster since dead stop starts are more productive with less spinning and more moving. :rocks: |

Question for you... I am pretty mechanically inclined... is a DIY possible with the qualife LSD? I assume that one just has to pull the diff cover, half shafts, and gear set and then put in the qualife gear set and put back the half shafts and diff cover... any thoughts? |

Someone that has experience might chime in. I'm sure someone will post a DIY eventually. |

The only issue was BMW or jobbers didn't have any bearings in stock at the time so he had to be real careful (and he was) with my bearings. It went as planned - 6.5 hours - and $657 including taxes and oil/supplies. It's best you do a diff oil change after about 2K km's
