A
great upgrade for drivers looking for added acceleration and grip for their E46
M3.
Changing
your cars gearing is one of the most effective performance improvements you can
make for the money. For example, swapping from a 3.15 to 3.46 ratio will give
your car 10% more torque delivered to the rear wheels! All of our differentials
are limited slip units, meaning that both wheels pull - no more wheel spin. We
will exchange your current differential for a unit built exactly to your
specification. We have every ring and pinion ratio available including
extra-short Motorsport ratios.
We
have 6 different types of limited slip units available to suit your particular
needs**:
- M Variable - The
torque-sensitive, variable M differential lock identifies exactly when traction
is needed. Even when wheel grip varies enormously, such as on bends taken at
high speed, roadholding remains excellent as the locking power between the left
and right rear wheels can be raised to 100%.
- 2 Clutch - Based off the
factory limited slip carrier, this unit is great for street use and is easy on
the wallet.
- 3 Clutch - This 3 clutch unit
is designed to further increase the locking abilities of the differential for
more aggressive traction and grip. Great for street cars seeing numerous track days
per year.
- 3 Clutch with Custom
Engaging Ramp Angles - Our best selling carrier type. The carrier
incorporates custom ramp angles built into the carrier for an engagement that
is more substantial and track oriented. This unit offers excellent turn-in and
the abilities to lay down some serious power earlier during track-out. The unit
has proved to greatly reduce track times and as a result, created some very
happy customers!
- Quaife - Unlike a
conventional plate-style limited slip differential, the Quaife Helical LSD
differential relies on gears rather than clutch plates for its operation. The
Quaife helical LSD never locks harshly with a set pre-load of wheel slip across
the driven axle. Rather, the Quaife Helical LSD automatically biases the torque
away from the spinning wheel across the axle to a constantly varying degree,
never locking completely.
- OS Giken - The increased
number of friction discs not only dramatically improved the LSD's locking
force, it enables it to lock fully and completely. An added benefit to being a
fully locking mechanism is that less heat is generated, thus resulting in
incredible durability and reliability.
REMĀ®
Ring & Pinion polishing is available for lowering operating temps and
reducing driveline loses by reducing friction. Additional charges apply
$95 flat rate
shipping/packaging fee.
$750 core charge is
not included in price and will be added during processing. Core charge will be
refunded upon receipt of your rebuild-able core***. Core MUST
be received within two weeks of delivery of replacement unit.
Selecting
the best differential type for your application can be a difficult task
considering the amount of ratios and limited slip carriers. Please feel free to
contact your BimmerWorld sales representative to discuss the best differential
for your application.
The
ability to rebuild the returned differential will be decided by the
differential builder.
