Team MFactory BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Building your perfect BMW is more than just adding horsepower and stiff suspension. Your drivetrain needs attention in order to deliver power effectively. Most BMWs feature comfortable clutch discs, heavy flywheels, long shifter throws, and open differentials. The drivetrain transmits power to the wheels, but can also be a source of power loss when it is designed for comfort rather than performance. Everything on this page will help you improve your power delivery and driving experience by providing custom Limited Slip Differentials, Short Shift Conversions, Performance Clutch Discs, Lightweight Flywheels, and anything else your BMW needs to be the perfect driving experience.

The best way to gain a prominent advantage over the competition is to do it with the MFactory Helical Limited Slip Differential. The smooth consistent distribution of power to the wheels with the MFactory Helical LSD puts the power to the ground and maximizes your vehicle's traction. A must for any car be it street, strip, or track. What exactly does an LSD do you ask? well without an LSD your car is actually 1 wheel drive, in that it can't supply torque to both wheels at the same time and will only supply torque to the wheel with less grip, which is what the shortfall is to an open differential (what most vehicles have). An LSD only lets the wheels spin at different speeds by a limited amount (typically this is a percentage difference) which is when the differential locks and both wheels get power. This is not how locked differentials work such as in off road trucks which supply equal torque and rotational speed to both rear wheels at the same time, which can cause issues with handling.

The best way to gain a prominent advantage over the competition is to do it with the MFactory Metal Plate Limited Slip Differential. The smooth consistent distribution of power to the wheels with the MFactory Plate LSD puts the power-to-the-ground and maximises your vehicle's traction. This 2-way differential will provide torque transfer during both acceleration and deceleration. This means that regardless of whether there is load (throttle) being applied to the differential or not, it will lock up during slippage. Ideal for those with track use in mind.

The best way to gain a prominent advantage over the competition is to do it with the MFactory Metal Plate Limited Slip Differential. The smooth consistent distribution of power to the wheels with the MFactory Plate LSD puts the power to the ground and maximizes your vehicle's traction. This 1.5-way differential works similarly to a 2-way in that it provides torque transfer during both acceleration and deceleration. However, the advantage over a 2-way is that it requires less force to lock the differential. This means that it will allow for different wheel speeds, like when cornering. A 1.5-way differential is typically the best option for track or street use, as it keeps from having one tire skipping or dragging.

Gain a significant competitive edge with the MFactory Helical Limited Slip Differential, available at Turner Motorsport. This Helical LSD delivers a smooth and consistent distribution of power to your BMW's wheels, optimizing traction on the street, strip, or track. It's an essential addition for any BMW enthusiast.

Curious about the LSD's role? Without it, your car effectively becomes a one-wheel-drive vehicle, supplying torque to the wheel with less grip. The Helical LSD changes the game by allowing both wheels to receive power while limiting the speed difference between them, in contrast to open differentials commonly found in most vehicles.

Key Features:

  • 30-Day Feel the Torque™ Money Back Guarantee: An industry-first assurance that lets you experience the difference. Plus, it's backed by a Limited-Lifetime Warranty for your peace of mind.
  • Forged and Cryo-Tempered: Engineered for extreme durability and longevity, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of competition-level drag racing.
  • Advanced Shot Peening Technology: Enhances surface hardness, making it well-equipped to handle the shocks of competition-level drag racing.
  • Maintenance-Free Gears: Bid farewell to special fluids or rebuilds associated with typical plate LSDs. It's designed for hassle-free ownership.
  • Lock-Free Operation: Ensures there's no adverse impact on steering response.

Break-In Procedure: For optimal performance, it's recommended to change the fluid after the first 3-400 miles of use.

Please note that any defects or warranty claims should be directed to Team MFactory.
