well i hope so...if someone with experience with both the quaife and wavetrac could chime in it would be extremely helpful in my decision even though I am on the side of wavetrac right now.

Want to know the difference? Find someone who has an E9X M3 and will let you get on it hard. Come back report if you don't think there is a very big difference. That especially considering you have more juice than that M3.

You are still going to spin in 1st if you are modded, but you will be accelerating while you spin instead of spinning one wheel wondering when you are going to take off. Depending on your mods/tires you should be getting good traction in 2nd, but you will probably spin a little between you 1-2 shift. Well I am not experienced in either, but both seem to have a lifetime warranty with them so you can't really go wrong either way. The Quaife has years of experince behind them, and the Wavetrac will have better traction on zero/near zero load conditions (i.e. a rear tire lifts under extreme cornering). You may never experience that condition though, and even if you do it is very shortly lived so thats not a huge deal. People are extremely happy with both brands, so I don't think you can make a wrong choice here. |

Someone will get mine once I get someone elses core. I maybe waiting 2 or 3 months... get your orders in to be on the list. I think only a few shops do this and your core has to be sent to Seattle or something for the shop that cuts off the welded gear. OR - you could be without your car for 3 to 4 weeks as they ship your welded gear to Seattle and back.. and hope they don't lose it and ship it to Botswana by mistake. If you are bolted, you have horseshoes up your a_s.... you lucky bas_ards... you will pay a lot less, and be able to get it done asap.

BMW realized they had handed tuners a bonanza with this car and pulled a few underhanded anti-modding moves with things like software measures and welding the diff etc. Now even the stupid N55 Turbo is welded to the manifold, making it even more expensive to monkey around with.
Yours truly lucky bastard here is bolted.

I don't know if it was ever documented somewhere that this would be an issue, or if diff casings on manual transmission cars are subjected to the same type of difference, just saying this was the situation I learned of. Not all the shops stock up cores from every single E9x model. A lot of times it's like what DaFish said, a local shop may not be able to perform core exchange with you until it receives another core. So particularly for older model E9x guys, it may be important for you to make sure where your new core comes from and stick with one that's not from a LCI car. I don't have any concrete part #s to substantiate that this difference exists across model lines, but just thought I'd share the situation I came across with fellow enthusiasts (and potential LSD buyers).
