  • Hy!

    Where did you get the diff-i have looked on quaife.co.uk and i didn't find one for the diesel(only for the 335i or 135i).

    I want one,too!

    Thanks!

    Hi :) Got the diff from Birds Auto (.com), a UK site that has the distribution rights for the BMW diffs. Just send them an e-mail with your chassis number and they will find the right diff for you.

  • Bad traction on that tyres - they even not scream.

  • @AlexanderA80

    In my experience very few tires scream on a wet surface, although you can hear these squeal a bit on the paving stones. Will admit though, not been overly impressed with the Bridgestone runflats on this car, next set of tires will be non-runflat.

  • how much for diff installed??

  • @shadmonk

    Around £1000 in the UK. With taxes and labour it ended up at £1500 here in Norway.

    Really? You had all the time in the world and you wrote that? I think somebody needs a hug :)

  • @sa6oroman

    Check out this video to see the difference: watch?v=zVh2f2B2OhE. Notice how even under full throttle he doesn't get any oversteer thanks to all the power going to the inside spinning wheel. Of course you can get an open diffed car to oversteer too, but you generally have to use weight transfer to start the slide making it (in my opinion) less predictable.

  • @SniperZoz

    Yup, video with everything off. With the DTC fully on you don't notice anything other than the increase in traction. You will see a lot less of the DTC lamp blinking in your dash though which is nice :)

    Personally I would say the car is easier to control as it is more predictable, but some people find the open diff behaviour easier to deal with as you need to really provoke the car to get oversteer. Me, I prefer to know that when I floor it, both wheels will spin and not just one!

  • Sounds like you welded the throttle to the floor!
