Yup, just buy the Quaife LSD for $1450 + labour (about 3-6 hours to install)

LSD is the king of the mods for BMW with V8 engines

You realize pics are required! And why does get to pick up the car? Is it going to be her car?

Congrats on the purchase...wnet from a 530 to a 550 and once you sit with that V8....it's hard to go back! Amazing car....I've had a serious run of problems with my CPO but I'm seing the light at the end of the tunnel....otherwise....great car
