Hi members!

Check this video :

And here :




I have written to him and asked about E60 .
He answered :

"Dear Sir,

We are responsible for the development program for all of the BMW differentials, and I regret we have not yet got the data which would allow us to determine whether any of the existing LSD sets could be installed in that vehicle.

I regret that until we can inspect a car, we would not be able to offer this product.
[...] "


He told me not any problem with DSC/DTC .

Conclusion : he need an E60 to inspect, to develop the LSD .

Who wants to be the cavy ?
He is in Uxbridge, near london .
If there is an English member who is interested, I will send him a PM with the mail address of that guy .

We need LSD!!

Bye!

I agree. LSD is groovy. I would be all over a shorter gear ratio in a LSD. Somebody in UK pony up and let this guy inspect your rear In trade, I will watch over your Queen while she visits us here in Virginia.

Obligatory!


I'm working on it : I have found -8% (3.15) for $998, -11% for $1750 and other too high ratios (3.38 and 3.46, -15% and -17%) .
I would prefer 3.23, but if I will not find it for less than $1000 I will go with 3.15 .
NOT ANY members has wanted to help me in this research : Dinan exhaust, instead, is very important here, with +5 HP .
I will keep you informed: your 550i has the same ratio as my 545i .


Exactly

AlexFW

Updating :

English member, Mr. Kevin need your E60 for only 1 working day .
He told me that the price would be cheap : "If someone should agree to offer their car so we can measure the dimensions, they gat a LSD at a very good price!" .

Come on, don't make me going to London by car like Jeremy Clarkson crosses the Europe!

Is that near Birds Garage? Maybe Mandy if she is still there has an E60 or has a customer with one??
I used to sell Dinan parts to them when I worked there.

AlexFW

Yes, it's Birds: Quaife franchised all BMW diff applications to Birds.
Who is Mandy ?

BetterMakeWay

Is it aplicable to 535d too?
BTW what are the ratio difference between a 535d and a 545i?

Later edit: Read the article and it seems so. AND OHHHH JOY. So much more torque to use and not waste, but i can only dream of the handling improvement. GUYS PLEASE LET'S MAKE THIS REAL!

Oh my God, my car would be perfect with an LSD and i think so would yours

AlexFW

I don't know about 535d diff .. I bet it's the same with a different ratio .

Here on the forum there was an english member with a blue 550i, Msport, active cruise control, perhaps night vision, etc. but I don't remember his nickname .

JetBlack

She is the person that ordered all of the Dinan parts for Kevin.

off topic story:
When she first started to buy parts I could not understand what she meant by asking "how much for the cairrage" it took me a while to figure out that meant

AlexFW

Undestood .
If nobody answer I will write the same post in the =2 section .
