@Twisted Tuning, have I been driving my ‘08 335xi 6AT E90 for the last 10 years with the misimpression that an LSD (front or rear) was not compatible?!? If so, what combination of rear and front would you recommend, and can you point me to an install DIY?
Thanks.

LSD's work for AWD cars, there are several cars that come that way from the factory. When it comes to AWD the main thing to keep under control is Left and right wheel speeds of the same axles as that can sometimes cause issues. with the wheels turning constantly at different speeds.

Idk if you need to send in a core for this but if you do and anyone would rather have a driveable car, i have a front diff you can buy to send in as your core. Came from a totalled e60 xdrive. Has about 80k

was this towards me?

The goal is to have lots of interesting things here, so I'll take that as a compliment. Now excuse me, I'm off to find more ways to make your life worse :tearsofjoy:

You Read it correctly. We are teaming up with @MFactory in our quest to further solidify the prior neglected X-Drive drivetrain found in our beloved BMW. We have worked with M-Factory in the past on Mazda oriented products and have had amazing results. So we are at it again.

We already have Rear LSD Diffs available so lets seal the deal with a Front LSD. M-Factory has agreed to take on the project of producing their Forged Helical LSD for us in Front Diff Fashion.

PIC For Attention:

We need 10 confirmed buyers for this to happen. No Flakes, only real buyers. We will also need a sample stock Diff which i will take care of and get sent to M-Factory once we have our 10 confirmed buyers.

MSRP is similar to their Rear LSD offerings: $999.95
(50% deposit, then 50% when the rest are due to ship)

CONFIRMED BUYERS:

1.Twisted Tuning (1EA - but may buy more)
2.Travis Harre
3.Ivan Sanchez
4.DrWeedLive (follow me on instagram)
5.Jesse Cameron
6. Alex Peterson
7. Tim Bies
8. Duane Pugh
9. Brennan Wallman
10.Michael Roney

Copy and paste the list and add your name if you're in 100%, no maybes!!
Good stuff. We are getting there.

Meant to post earlier. But the OEM diff sample is enroute to @MFactory r&d department.

So once they inspect everything and verify what they need to do. We will move forward with deposits for this.

If anyone is interested. Here are some photos of the stock diff.

Also, in the meantime I'm going to be trying to find and source stronger carrier bearings. I don't like the design of the OEM bearings.

The front diffs are similar to the rear...they went from bolted to welded diffs at some point... I have my front diff apart right now and mine is bolt (just like the photos I posted earlier). I can send more pictures if it will help.

Ok, update on this.

@MFactory got back to me a couple days ago (sorry for the delayed post, BUSY). After inspection of the OEM diff sample i sent them. Things have changed pretty substantially for this project.

Being that the OEM diff is a welded diff. They would need to make new ring and pinions along with the LSD itself for this. So with that being said.

1. Price increases to $1500+
2. MOQ is now 30 up from the original 10 needed

Discuss.....Im still in, but im sure many people will not be. So post up.

If you have a bolted front diff, then you will need the LSD only (and don't need the ring & pinion). We would still need the required numbers though.

If you make an stronger ring and pinion you can put me down for 2.
