BMW Differential and Gearing Upgrades

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.

For G-Chassis BMW & A90/A91 Toyota Supra High torque loads, hard launches, and aggressive driving expose the factory differential mounting’s built-in compliance. Under power, the differential can shift excessively, resulting in wheel hop, inconsistent traction, and increased stress on drivetrain components—issues that become more pronounced on tuned or track-driven cars. The BMS Differential Support Bracket Brace corrects this weakness by reinforcing the differential mounting point and securely tying it to the subframe. By controlling unwanted movement, the brace improves rear-end stability and ensures power is transferred to the ground more efficiently. Why Upgrade? OEM differential mounts favor NVH reduction over control. As torque output increases, that compliance translates into drivetrain shock and lost traction. This brace stiffens the system where it matters most, reducing flex and improving load management under acceleration. Performance Benefits Improved launch consistency Significant reduction in wheel hop Increased rear-end stability under load More precise and predictable power delivery Engineered for Demanding Use Designed around factory mounting points, the BMS Differential Support Bracket delivers precise OE-level fitment with increased structural rigidity. Its robust construction resists deflection under high torque, while upgraded hardware provides greater clamping force for long-term reliability. Fully bolt-on for straightforward installation on both stock and modified vehicles. Key Features Reinforces rear differential mounting Limits differential movement under load Enhances traction and drivetrain response Heavy-duty construction for high-performance applications Bolt-on installation using factory locations Compatible with G-chassis BMW and A90/A91 Supra A focused drivetrain upgrade for drivers who demand consistency, control, and durability at higher performance levels.
