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.

Differential bushings are responsible for keeping the differential in solid alignment while dampening drivetrain vibration. While OE rubber bushings are fine when they are new from the factory, aged and worn out rubber bushings create a multitude of issues that can range from annoying to dangerous. As a factory bushing ages, it begins to harden and become brittle. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow for movement at the differential mounting point. At this point, the differential is free to shift under load causing a noticeable clunking noise under acceleration and deceleration and massively increasing the stress on the driveshaft and axles. Manual transmissions suffer the worst from this as it can make shifting difficult since the differential will shift when the clutch is engaged and disengaged.

By replacing these bushings with full polyurethane, the movement is eliminated since the mounting point is supported by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. This means less stress on the driveshaft and axles and greater longevity of supporting components. 

Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane differential bushings offer a supreme level of control, while still providing enough comfort for the street, with advanced polyurethane that reduces NVH that often accompanies lesser bushings. Expect improved acceleration response, more direct shifting feel and overall improved drivetrain composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane bushings.

Poweflex is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket suspension bushings. Using state of the art design and manufacturing, all replacement bushings are engineered to out-perform and out-last the ones that came in the car. Each line of bushings is meticulously tested and then re-tested to ensure perfect fitment and enduring quality through the life of the vehicle. A full lifetime warranty backs every one of their products and demonstrates the level of confidence and commitment Powerflex has to their customers.

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.

Differential bushings are responsible for keeping your rear end planted during the delivery of power to the rear wheels. As these bushings age, they wear out and should be replaced. If you ever see your bushings are cracked, it is time to replace them. By eliminating the drivetrain deflection that factory rubber bushings permit, throttle response is improved, and the tendency for a car to “Wheel Hop” is significantly reduced. Upgrade to ECS Poly Diff Bushings and feel the difference!

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 accelleration 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 These Differentials are dependent on the final gear ratios. *Any defects or warranty clams will have to go directly to Team M Factory*

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.

Hands down - one of the best performance upgrades you can make to an E46 M3, E60 M5 or E63/E64 M6! With almost no downside you can make your BMW much quicker by swapping in a new ring & pinion gear set. The gearing used to be overlooked when planning modifications but the 3.85, 3.91, and 4.10 gears are now one of our biggest selling upgrades for the E46 M3! With a rear end gear upgrade you get the effects of adding horsepower but without adding any more stress to the engine or drivetrain. It's one of the best areas to get return from your modification spending. Using a shorter (numerically higher) gear ratio will give you better acceleration. The R&P acts as a torque multiplier, putting the engine into the power band sooner for each gear. There is an 6% increase in torque at the wheels with the shorter R&P. Want to make your car faster off the line or out of corners? Or avoid a downshift to pass on the highway? This is what you need.

The R&P can be installed on its own but for cars that have more than 60,000 miles it would be a better idea to rebuild the whole diff. The factory viscous limited slip units have a typical lifespan of 50-70,000 miles. We offer diff rebuilding with 3.85 or other gear options and you get a fully-rebuilt and serviced limited slip unit at the same time. Click here for our diff rebuild options.

3.85 Gearing Example: 2004 M3, 6-speed manual, 275/35-19" rear tires

 

Gear RatioGearSpeedRPM

40 MPH in 4th
3.62 4th 40mph 2,250rpm
3.85 4th 40mph 2,350rpm

70 MPH Cruise
3.62 6th 70mph 2,650rpm
3.85 6th 70mph 2,800rpm

5th Gear Speed at Redline
3.62 5th 175mph 8,000rpm
3.85 5th 165mph 8,000rpm

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 M3 will top out at.


This item is the genuine BMW part and the ring & pinion set only. You will need to have this professionally installed into your existing differential. BMW does not supply differential rebuild parts (bearings, shims, plates, etc.) so only a qualified shop that is experienced in BMW diff rebuilding should perform this installation. We also offer built differentials and exchanges, click here.

To bolster the commitment to durability, all Wavetrac® differentials come with a transferable limited lifetime warranty.

For those seeking additional technical insights, comprehensive information on the Wavetrac® Differential can be found at this link: Wavetrac Technical Information.

It's important to note that the Wavetrac® differential is compatible with gear ratios of 3.15 and higher.

Important Note for Bolt Kits:

For vehicles equipped with a welded ring gear, the installation of this differential necessitates the removal, drilling, and installation of the welded ring gear from your stock differential. A Bolt Kit ES4368731 is an essential component for installing the ring gear onto the new differential. We strongly recommend consulting with a professional 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.

It's crucial to be aware that no refunds or replacements will be offered if the differential has been installed or machined, or in the event of incorrect ring gear installation or differential failure due to improper installation.

If your MINI is only for competition use - autocross, time trial, or racing - this OS Giken LSD may be a better option than the standard 1.5-way unit. This race-spec LSD was developed over several seasons of competitive autocross. It uses a new high pressure ring for quicker response time and faster lockup. This makes it ideal for quick transitions and rapid on/off throttle motions typically encountered on the track. It's a one-way lockup so the car stays predictable under braking and gives the driver more feedback. For street use we prefer the normal 1.5-way setup because it's more progressive during lockup.

The biggest shortcoming of any MINI is not the lack of power - it's being able to put all of its useable power to the ground! The Cooper S is basically a one-wheel drive car and sending 200+ hp through that one tire does not live up to its full potential. A limited-slip differential is essential to any highly-tuned FWD car. The OS Giken Super-Lock is one of the most advanced clutch-type differentials on the market, and a favorite of autocrossers and road racers. The OS LSD for the MINI features ten clutch discs for a smooth and progressive lockup. By putting all of your available power to the ground you're at an instant advantage over the stock open-type differential. You'll be able to power through corners and on rough surfaces instead of uselessly spinning a wheel. Understeer is reduced by giving more bite to the tire that has the most traction. With an LSD in your MINI Cooper S you'll wonder why it wasn't first on your list to begin with (or why MINI/BMW left it out in the first place...).

The MNI OS Giken LSD uses a special 80W250 fluid that must be purchased separately.

This item fits the following BMWs:
2002-2006 R53 MINI MINI Cooper S (6MT manual transmission only)
2007-2013 R56 MINI MINI Cooper S (6MT manual transmission only)

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.

Key Features:

  • Crafted from imported Japanese SAE 4320 Steel
  • Industry-first 30-day "Feel the Torque™" money-back guarantee, along with a Limited-Lifetime Warranty
  • Forged, double tempered, and super sub-zero treated for unparalleled toughness
  • Utilizes advanced Shot Peening technology to increase surface hardness
  • Engineered to withstand the extreme shock loads of competition-level drag racing
  • Advanced gear geometry designed using industry-leading software, delivering more power to the ground
  • Exclusively uses the highest quality Brighton-Best Hardware
  • Maintenance-free gears eliminate the need for special fluids and rebuilds associated with plate-type LSDs
  • Ensures lock-free operation, preventing adverse effects on steering response
  • Rated for up to ~1000 WHp

As part of the break-in procedure, we recommend changing the fluid after the first 3-400 miles of use.

Warranty:

MFactory Competition Products stands behind the quality of its Helical LSDs. A limited lifetime warranty is provided, ensuring that these LSDs are free of defects in materials and workmanship upon receipt of the product and professional installation. Any part returned must be determined by MFactory Competition Products to be defective before any warranty credit or replacement is issued.

MFactory Competition Products's obligation under the warranty is limited to repairing or replacing, at its discretion, any part proven defective. The customer is responsible for prepaying transportation charges.

It's important to note that the final determination of the suitability of the products for the intended use is the sole responsibility of the buyer. MFactory Competition Products shall not be liable for any special, direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including claims for delay, loss of profits, or labor that might be claimed as a result of the failure of any part.

Furthermore, MFactory Competition Products shall not be liable for any damage or injury to persons or property resulting from improper installation or misuse of any part covered by this warranty.

Please be aware that there are no other warranties, whether expressed or implied, extending beyond those set forth above.

Note: To ensure a proper fit, you'll need to reuse the old bearings or acquire new bearings and press them onto each end.

Your E36's rear differential is indirectly connected to your right foot through the engine and driveline, and connected to the seat of your pants through the chassis. Soft factory rubber differential bushings absorb vibrations between chassis and differential, providing comfort and softness in both of these connections. ECS Tuning's In-House Engineered Performance Polyurethane Differential Bushing eliminate deflection permitted by factory bushings, improving the connection you feel to your differential. Removal of this slop allows for crisper power transfer from differential to wheels, which means better throttle control while carving a canyon road, drag racing, sliding the rear end out, or just driving to work. This is achieved without the harshness or vibration associated with delrin or solid differential mounts. Featuring a tough 88A durometer polyurethane and Black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum Sleeve, our Performance Polyurethane Differential Bushings are more resistant to chemicals, ozone degradation, road salt, and general wear and tear than factory rubber bushings, resulting in a longer service life.

With their solid diff bushing, you won't have to worry about any more rubbery flex in your diff during hard acceleration.
