I'd like to get an LSD like the torque vectoring sport diff in my Audi SQ5. There is a traffic circle leaving my work that the bloated SQ5 drives around like on rails. My 340 xdrive understeers like a mofo on that same circle.

I found a printout I made in 2016 of the BMW accessories web site listing for the LSD and it gives the same part number (33108659989) for the unit that they show now. I worked in parts for 13 years for a Volvo Dealer and I will tell you Volvo changed part numbers at the drop of a hat. Even the slightest modification resulted in a new part number, changing suppliers was enough to warrant a part number change and I can't believe BMW is any different. For them to modify the LSD enough for it to now work in my 340 would certainly have resulted in a part number change, otherwise how would they know old stock from new? Bottom line, I say BMW has the web page screwed up just like they did in 2016 and I'll bet this LSD unit will not work. I know I'm not going to have my Dealer take my rear end apart ... again .. to find out for sure.
