Hello all,
Just want to share my first real performance mod for my 545i. Turner Motorsport along with Diffsonline rebuilt my rear differential and installed a Quaife limited slip. Now my car feels like a BMW should!!! Much better launch off the line, I can feel the car putting the power down better. Over 300 ft/lbs of torque driven through one wheel is not my idea of high performance.
I know this is a mod nobody sees and doesn't add power but if you have ever owned an M car or an older BMW with a LSD you know how much better the car is with this set up.
Thanks to Turner and Diffsonline for a great job at a fair price.

Hello Alex,
The snow from old storms has just about melted but another 12" is due tonight/tomorrow. Guess who is working from home tomorrow....
