Track aside, do you feel any changes/improvements when you do heavy cornering on "normal" roads?

I had it installed at my dealer. Got the BMWCCA discount off of MSRP.
You can feel the difference. Before the install, the traction control would kick in even if you didn't feel it. Now it can put the power down without the nannies getting involved so much. The justification I used to get it is so that I'll have more traction in the winter (even though I didn't really have any issues last winter). For me it is well worth the cost.

The main effect this will have is on a track with either: (1) removing massive inside wheel spin when turning hard and on gas; (2) reduce the ESP intervention if you don't disable it. Last edited by drob23; 08-21-2014 at 01:26 PM.. |

FWD is complicated because you're also using those wheels to steer. I also believe LSD's create understeer on engagement, since you are essentially removing the ability of the wheels to spin at separate speeds (inside wheel must spin slower while cornering). Although this might give you an oversteer effect since it occurs at the front axle. But I guess some modern FWD cars have such silly high torque that they need the LSD (Mazda S3 for instance). |
