Upgrading various parts of the differential can have tremendous benefits in your car's performance. It's easy to forget that the differential is a source for making your car faster and handle better so it's often overlooked. The engine is not the only place to make the car faster. Our differential options vary from gearing upgrades to limited slip conversions. You can purchase the ring & pinion gear sets on their own (professional installation required) or have us build a diff around your own specifcations. The options are almost endless! Every custom-built diff is fully rebuilt with seals and bearings. We also design and supply bushing options to reduce driveline wind-up, finned differential covers for better cooling, and more!

Ratio Changes - Changing the differential gearing is one of the best and most-effective upgrades you can make on any BMW (old or new). By using a shorter (numerically higher) final drive ratio you are increasing your RPM relative to road speed - this puts you in a more powerful RPM range than before! Since you're in a 'meatier' part of the power band you're now putting down more power/torque to the ground. If you can trade outright top speed for faster acceleration at daily speeds then this is the perfect upgrade for you.

Limited Slip Upgrades - Sadly, many BMWs today are not equipped with a limited slip (posi-traction) differential. BMW has tried to compensate by using traction control that cuts power at the engine or applies the brakes to retard wheel spin (or a combination of both). But nothing beats the function and feel of a a true LSD which may be why BMW continues to use them in M cars. Our LSD upgrades can be done a number of different ways - a factory-type limited slip unit with either 2 or 3 clutch packs, helical type, OS Giken unit, or something truly custom. We can also vary ramp angles and setup to change the limited-slip behavior under acceleration, deceleration, and cornering. Need a custom diff? Call or e-mail to have a quote.

The BMW F10/F07 Rear Diff Rear Mount Bushing by Powerflex is a specialized upgrade designed to replace the OEM rubber bushings in the rear differential mount. Here's a breakdown of its key features and benefits:

  1. Durability and Longevity: Made from high-quality polyurethane, these bushings are significantly more resistant to wear compared to the stock rubber, which tends to degrade over time due to heat, oils, and mechanical stress.

  2. Enhanced Performance: The stiffer material reduces flex in the rear differential, ensuring more precise power transfer to the wheels. This results in better acceleration response, reduced wheel hop, and improved handling characteristics, especially during aggressive driving.

  3. Reduced Differential Movement: The stock bushings can allow excessive differential movement under load, leading to a less stable rear end. The Powerflex bushings minimize this movement, enhancing the overall driving dynamics.

  4. Balanced Comfort and Performance: While polyurethane bushings are firmer than rubber, Powerflex designs their bushings to maintain a balance between performance and comfort. This means less increase in vibration, noise, and harshness (NVH) compared to other aftermarket bushings, making them suitable for both daily driving and performance applications.

  5. Custom Fit for BMW F10/F07: Specifically engineered for the BMW 5 Series (F10) and BMW 5 Series GT (F07), these bushings offer a precise fit, ensuring easy installation and compatibility with factory components.

Overall, the Powerflex Rear Diff Rear Mount Bushing is a go-to upgrade for those looking to improve their BMW’s rear-end stability, responsiveness, and durability without sacrificing too much comfort.
