Sign a petition for BMW Performance LSD for 335i model !

cstavaru · 03-02-2010, 07:07 PM

Hi,

Since a user on this forum (vgame64) will interview the BMW Performance Accessory Development Manager in a few days (more info) I tought it may be convincing if we can show that there are many people wanting a Limited Slip Differential from BMW Performance. In a previous interview with BMW Performance execs (here), the why-no-LSD answer was "lack of demand"...

Maybe the author can pass along this petition to Eric Riehle and we have a better chance to see a BMW Performance Differential for 335i...

So, if you want to contribute to this by signing the petition, please do so here:

http://www.petitiononline.com/lsd335i/petition.html

Thank you !

You know that wet roads with LSD are actually more dangerous due slides correct?

YEAH +1000

Oh, is that why the car feels so unstable in the rain on the interstate? I always thought it was my tires. Now it seems to make sense. I couldn't figure out why it felt like I was always hydroplaning even though I had brand new tires. It is much worse now since I have a tune - didn't really feel that much loss of traction when I was stock.

Robmaster · 03-03-2010, 01:05 AM

done!

same!!! omg i dont know why i feel like i hydroplane all the time when it rains. Ive never had a car do this and i was just thinking it was the RFT tires or something because they are very solid and not very soft.

Petition signed!

cstavaru · 03-03-2010, 09:49 AM

In my opinion, we need about 400-500 signatures until March 16 (the interview day) in order to (hope to) have an impact. They sold about 300 or so Power Kits in USA until last month, so I would figure that 500 owners/leasers of 335i which are interested in this would be a significant "demand"...

So please forgive me if I bump this thread once a day

jibaholic101 · 03-03-2010, 09:53 AM

OP, can you spread this to BMW General and to 1addicts since the part would be the same for e82 as e9x

Bump.

Keep up the signatures. It might be in vain but it couldn't hurt to try.
