When it comes to BMW, quoting many of our customers the LSD diff should be the first, and most important upgrade of them all. Improvement in traction and overall driveability is undeniable. Better control, better traction.

Typically the diff used in BMW has been one of the known Torsen-type locks such as Quaife ATB or Wavetrac, which work nicely, quietly and are compatible with oem DSC systems. Wavetrac offers the most modern technology and reliable action, which makes it the choice of our customers time after time.

In Wavetrac this has been taken care of.

Why the whole unit, can’t I build it myself?

For the last decade and more, BMW has been using a weld-on type diff, which you cannot disassemble simply bu unscrewing the bolts and fitting a new unit. Instead installing a LSD in these models needs skilled machining job, where the ring gear will be separated from OEM unit, modified, and fitted with your Wavetrac unit with reinforced ARP bolts. This conversion is often rather expensive, and not something every machining shop is willing to do at all.

Ready built unit is an easy choice, you’ll be happy to know your diff has been built by Wavetrac with accurate tolerances, offering laid-back kilometres for the future.
