I happened to get a quote of Kevin Bird today.

Cost was £1206 + VAT (includes fitting)

That's was my 520d auto but there are a list of prices on his website

We charge 7 hours of labor (3 hours to pull/install differential and 4 hours to build it to spec). If you were to get in on the group buy you could get the unit for $1305. We charge $140 an hour but for differential buyers we do $120. So, your price would be $2,145 + CA tax if applicable.

Please excuse my ridiculous nature.

I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of my Quaife ATB Helical Limited Slip Differential. FedEx Tracking tells me its already in San Diego since 8 am. I just ordered it yesterday morning.
I emailed Mr. Kevin Bird of Bird's Auto of UK, and he responded by giving me Mr. Harold Lin's info on how to get this custom differential in the U.S.
Harold then gave me information of how to get one by giving me the link to HPautowerks Inc.

He also told me that if there's genuine interest on the product he will give a discounted Group Buy price.


By the way, Mr. Mike Miller's (Roundel's Technical editor,Tech Talk) Old School Maintenance Schedule V02.11 is out. Email him to get a copy
or you can just PM me .
