Mainly that MFactory seems to be taking much longer than originally stated and the 2.81 differential seems to be giving them issues and is on their back burner.

Yup, you can 'feel' the power being put down, as the car tries to straighten itself out of a curve. LSD is next on my mod list. |

That is great video illustration there TDI. First thing I noticed with the Quaife, and it's even more amplified in wet or snow conditions, is how much easier it is to lose control. What I mean is with both rear tires providing power, you really have to know what you're doing powering out of turns. The open diff is a lot more forgiving and better suited for safer/less experienced drivers.

Your traction control doesn't not bias power; all it is doing is apply load to the spinning wheel (ie. activating your brake).
The "eDiff" in your BMW is not really an Electronic Differential (look up a proper eDiff like the one in a Ferrari), it's just an Electronic Brake + Ignition Retard. What biases power is your actual Diff, but as you have an open diff, that is why power is not being sent to the other wheel as the wheel in the air (that has the brake applied) is still the path of least resistance. This is where a Helical LSD works hand-in-hand with the Traction Control, as it will bias the power for you. |

I'm thinking of buying an LSD strictly for drag racing my 335D. Is it worth it?
Also wondering what it's worth with regard to 60 ft times on a fully mod'd D. Assuming I have enough power, can I run 11's on a 16" or 17" drag radial without an LSD? cheers! |

What you can run depends a lot on your mods. Obviously, well heated DRs or slicks mean less power needed to hit your goal. Kind of a pricey item to get what you need, but drag racing isnt cheap and its at least something you will enjoy off the track. |

Bringing yet another thread out of the grave, VAC any thoughts on a group buy? I have a spare pumpkin ready to be shipped. I thought since our Ds are older now and many more out of warranty that perhaps there is a better chance now for more participants.
