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

To provide added confidence, all Wavetrac® differentials are backed by a transferable limited lifetime warranty, highlighting the product's reliability and longevity.
For vehicles equipped with a welded ring gear, the installation process requires the removal, drilling, and installation of the welded ring gear from your stock differential. This intricate task should be entrusted to a professional machine shop. To seamlessly install the ring gear onto the new differential, you'll need Bolt Kit ES4368731. It's imperative to consult your machine shop before purchasing this item and the necessary hardware kit.
Please be aware that no technical drawings or instructions are provided, underscoring the importance of verifying compatibility and ensuring correct installation with your chosen machine shop. Refunds or replacements will not be offered in the event of incorrect ring gear installation or differential failure due to improper installation.
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.
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.

When it comes to gaining a significant advantage over your competitors, the MFactory Helical Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is your ultimate ally. This LSD offers a seamless and consistent distribution of power to your vehicle's wheels, allowing you to harness maximum traction and put the power firmly on the ground.
But what does an LSD do, you ask? Well, without an LSD, your car essentially operates as a "1-wheel drive," as it can't deliver torque to both wheels simultaneously. Instead, it directs torque to the wheel with less grip, highlighting the limitations of an open differential, which is standard in most vehicles.
An LSD, on the other hand, permits the wheels to spin at slightly different speeds by a limited amount, typically represented as a percentage difference. It's when the differential locks that both wheels receive power. It's important to note that LSDs function differently from locked differentials, such as those in off-road trucks, which supply equal torque and rotational speed to both rear wheels simultaneously, often causing handling issues.
As part of the break-in procedure, we recommend changing the fluid after the first 3-400 miles of use.

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? 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.

Unleash the full potential of your BMW and gain a competitive edge with the Turner Motorsport MFactory Metal Plate Limited Slip Differential. Engineered for superior performance, this differential ensures a smooth and consistent distribution of power to the wheels, maximizing traction and putting the power firmly on the ground. The 1.5-way design provides torque transfer during acceleration and halfway through deceleration, making it an ideal choice for those focused on track use.
Upgrade your BMW's drivetrain with the Turner Motorsport MFactory Metal Plate Limited Slip Differential for unmatched toughness and performance.
BMW's latest iteration of Limited Slip Differentials features a design utilizing clutch packs that are engaged and disengaged by an electric motor. As the electric motor activates, a set of gears adjusts a pressure plate which compresses these clutch packs. As these clutch plates are compressed, the amount of "lock-up" increases, allowing for a range of wide range of engagement, from completely open to almost fully locked. This ensures your BMW is able to transfer power to the ground regardless of the conditions for optimal performance and handling.
If you've noticed excess tire slippage in wet or snowy conditions, there is a chance this electric actuator motor has begun to fail and will need to be replaced to restore your M Sport differential's functionality. This kit includes all of the basic components necessary to replace this motor.

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
