It doesn't work that way.

1) Its BMW Germany to BMW NA

2) BMW NA to Dealers

3) Dealers to end users

Any third parties such as ECS buy direct from Dealers at highly discounted prices so Dealer keeps their power pricing rebates. That's why they have so little in actual stock.

ECS, Bimmerworld and other non-Dealers would be inserted at leg 2.5 above.

Someone please make a burn-out video with their new LSD installed.

I read that somewhere too, but Bmw's marketing documents for the diff say lifetime fluid, no maintenance required. Where have I heard that before?

Got mine done a few days ago at an indie for 350cdn(260usd). Car is a hugely improved, waiting for break before I really push it.

In regards to service I plan a flush in 1000km(local dealer recommended), haven't decided on a future interval.

Poochie send over that M2 and $100 on paypal as it's been days and no issues with xdrive....

Also still available for next day delivery in Canada

Congratulations, glad it worked out for you!

Now, before I apologize for being misinformed and ship my M2, give it a few more days and some WOT and get back to us.

The "wrong" LSD bolted up for the dude below until he started getting Drivetrain Malfunction after some hard driving and it also didn't work for another with a x-Drive 240i because the front diff had a different final drive from the front.

Hold your horses there, I told you give it some time before you jump the gun..

Like I posted above, that member reported a issue weeks later after putting in a mismatched unit. He then had to remove the LSD and keep it in storage.

And also, where you proof that he's not having an issues or eventually wouldn't? I could tell you I'm the Queen of England, without anything to back it up, you never know if it's true.

So cherio, until then..

You should at least read what you post to Welch on your bet.

In thread you linked, OP admitted he ordered wrong part number, unlike user here.

When I hit 70MPH, the transmission says that there is an error. Further testing says that the rear diff ratio is not correct. <Damn>

I do not want to remove the diff so I have two questions?

1-What is the difference in the ratios? It seems that the one in there is for the M240i. I can live with a little more low end or top end if necessary. And,

2-Can I get the error coded out at the dealer? And what should I tell them so they a)don't lecture me. b)laugh or c)rip me off.

I really, REALLY don't want to remove and sell this diff. Any helpful insights appreciated. Tell me all is not lost.

PS-I have iCarly but I don't suppose that will help at all.

2.81 Auto vs 3.08 Manual

Nothing to do with AWD vs RWD, both with 3.15 on this LSD.

Exactly, 'the wrong part,' check the original press release for the LSD, which I followed from day one because my 235i at the time didn't come with one and I eager for the release..

You can't blame me for having doubts when BMW themselves explicitly stated in their official press release that this unit was specifically made for the automatic 335/435i RWD.

Not to mention everyone that tried it on the other models like the 235i/240i xdrive failed because the front diff has a different final drive, which sent the computer in a tizzy.

So the 335 xdrive, by chance, has the same front diff as the rear, without that information going in, it was a safe assumption it would not work on the 335i x-drive vehicle, as it doesn't on the 340i xdrive.

And I still have my doubts it would remain problem free. But in time we'll see if I am truly misinformed.

First, you are presenting facts not supported....like a press release.

Anyone who orders off a press release without checking the numbers as I did above....taking less than 30 seconds is an idiot...even if the press release did list that part. Public Relations are not Techs.

Regardless, facts in evidence show you said no "No BS" to pay up....and all you've done is BS to Welch.

Haha not trying to start this shit show back up lmao. Just was hoping i could help a few people with xdrive and auto n55s. I've pushed the car quite hard but not to it's full potential. Done 400km, some small drifts and even a few donuts; still no errors I'll report back if things change, which I doubt!

All @poochie did was sow seeds of doubt in the AWD owners who hesitated and now will never be able to buy at LSD for their vehicle at this cheap of a price.

The fact is the LSD is listed in the parts catalog to fit the 340i and 240 xdrive also and it factually does not work, so forgive me for not trusting the online catalog which you have utmost confidence in.

I was going off the official press release BMW published which stated it was only designed for the RWD vehicles only.

And like already mentioned, just because the one person who actually attempted this on an xdrive vehicle and claims they don't currently have any malfunction error yet, doesn't mean it eventually won't come up, as it took weeks of hard highway driving before another member finally caught a CEL, due to the wrong unit.

If I was misinformed, it was still at the best interest of the folks here, not to take away anyone's opportunity to get one.

WRONG AGAIN. Seems to be a constant refrain from you.

The official documentation does NOT say this unit fits a 340i or a 240 xdrive, as I posted in this thread on post #35 on 5/3/2019

This is the second time you have attempted to blame incorrect info on a press release that apparently no one has seen but you.

All it took was a 30 second search through the internet to find the technical docs of what this did fit.

And as this you cost AWD owners the opportunity to own a LSD.

Like I told you, it was listed for the 340i xdrive and it didn't work for a customer which has a 2.81 drive, which is also the LSD option for the auto.

Beside the final drive lining up, there was issues with different axels.

There was no evidence of anyone successfully installing this LSD into a xdrive prior to this, only failed attempts, so it really was a trial and error in determining if it truly worked.

Get off you high horse already. If I was incorrect based on the information available at the time, fine but your guess was as good as mines considering there was no proof.

Everyone knows that ECS is not an official source except you.

This forum is littered with eBay and ECS purchases that did not fit as they were claimed to on the internet.

Again, shame on you for believing everything on the internet when official sources (as well as BMW Dealers listed in the thread previously) confirmed it would work - and causing doubt which caused members not to order and miss out.

I realize you are attempting to Welch on your “no BS” bet and spin this toyour advantage but it’s sad you cannot even understand this thread was about a part number not covered by anything you have posted.

Sad.

[robertzlatarski]

Is it worth it? Any performance gains? Is the upgrade noticeable? I have 440i and I am really considering installing LSD.
