Limited Slip Differentials for BMW 3 Series E92 (2007-2013)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

BMW stopped using truly limited-slip differentials with the advent of the E9X and E60 platforms. The advantages between an open and limited-slip differential are seconds on the track and a massive increase in corner exit grip. Tuner motorsports offer many different types of LSDs' to suit your driving style and budget.

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.

Convert your open differential to a locked differential without the costly expense of an LSD replacement.

Get your car ready for aggressive track driving or drifting without purchasing or replacing your differential. The weld-in plates strengthen your diff and allow both wheels to engage simultaneously giving you a more predictable and capable track car.

An open differential allows the wheels to spin at different speeds and sends power to the wheel with the least amount of traction. This may be a good feature for your regular everyday driver but limits you on the track. The weld-in plates simulate a driving experience similar to a limited-slip differential allowing you to put power to both wheels in a low traction area or initiate drifts.

Features and benefits:

Added strength to your differential gears
Converts from open differential
Fabricated to fit in the spider gears for an easier weld and increased confidence
Made from 7 gauge mild steel, formed to fit

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. 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. Features: Forged and Cryo-Tempered for unsurpassed toughness Advanced Shot Peening technology for increased surface hardness Coil Spring preload system ensures minimal power loss and maximum response Lower initial pressure ensures maximum durability and chatter-free operation Fully rebuildable with adjustable lock (80-100%) and option for different cam types Available in 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 way options

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.

Gaining a prominent edge over the competition is now within reach, thanks to the MFactory Helical Limited Slip Differential offered by Turner Motorsport. This Helical LSD ensures a seamless and uniform distribution of power to your BMW's wheels, significantly enhancing traction whether you're on the street, strip, or track. It's an absolute necessity for BMW enthusiasts.

Curious about the LSD's role? Without it, your car essentially operates as a one-wheel-drive machine, delivering torque solely to the wheel with less grip. This is where the Helical LSD shines, as it allows both wheels to receive power by limiting the speed difference between them, in contrast to the open differentials found in most vehicles.

Key Features:

  • 30-Day Feel the Torque™ Money Back Guarantee: An industry-first assurance that enables you to experience the difference. Furthermore, it comes with a Limited-Lifetime Warranty, offering peace of mind.
  • Forged and Cryo-Tempered: Engineered to deliver exceptional durability and extended lifespan, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of even the most demanding challenges.
  • Advanced Shot Peening Technology: Enhances surface hardness, making it well-equipped to handle the shocks experienced in competition-level drag racing.
  • Maintenance-Free Gears: Bid farewell to the hassles associated with special fluids or rebuilds commonly required for plate LSDs. It's designed for a trouble-free ownership experience.
  • Lock-Free Operation: Ensures there's no adverse impact on steering response, delivering a smooth driving experience.

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.

This is a complete differential to change the gearing of a manual transmission E90/E92 325i, 328i, or 330i (not for xi models) to a 3.64 ratio final drive. The standard gearing on the manual transmission cars is 3.15 or 3.23, making this E90 diff significantly shorter. This diff is from a 330i automatic where the gear ratio has to be shorter to make up for the transmission gearing differences and extra weight. This will dramatically improve acceleration on any 325i, 328i or 330i INSTANTLY! If you are looking for better off-the-line or rolling acceleration, and are willing to sacrifice a little top-speed (some of us don't get up to 150mph), this is one of the best ways to achieve it with almost no downside. There are few things that can improve your 0-to-60 and 0-to-100 times as much as shorter gearing, and this differential is clearly a best "bang-for-buck" solution for dramatically better acceleration. Since this is an Original BMW part it carries the same BMW two year warranty as any other new part. So there's no need to take a chance on a used part from a private seller. (former BMW part number 33107519944)

Changing gear ratio changes the RPM range for any given speed. Use the chart below for examples of speed vs RPM changes for the 3.64 diff.

Why 5th? Because 6th does not have the mechanical advantage to get past wind resistance at these speeds - it is more of a cruise/overdrive gear. Using 5th for comparison purposes is much more relevant than having to take into account wind direction, resistance, grade, elevation, tire sizing, etc. These numbers are for comparisons among gear ratios only, not to determine what your E90 will top out at.2006-2011 325i or 328i, 6-speed manual, stock 3.23 gears, 255/35-18" rear tires
