BMS diff brace for f30

Twincisco1995 · 05-07-2020, 09:28 AM

Hey I just want to let you guys know that BMS released a different brace for the F30 but there's only one issue it's only for the wheel wheel drive models not Xdrive . I just try to install it on mine and it doesn't line up I just thought I'll let you Xdrive f30 owners know before buying

Link to part? Not sure what you are talking about and sure I'm not the only one.

Dunno. That's why I was curious to see exactly what it was. First I'd heard of it.

It's supposed to reduce wheel hope and also help you keep your diff from shattering in higher HP car

I actually bought one for my rwd 340i, still have to install it. I had one on my E90 and it made a noticeable difference. Rear end wiggle was significantly less on hard straight accelerating. Hoping it will do the same with the F30. Will be pairing it with subframe inserts, but will test/feel the results one at a time.

was this on a standard open differential or did you install it with an LSD?

It acts as a 4th link for your diff to eliminate wheel hop. That Burger version looks to be a copy of a design built & sold by a BMW forum member some time ago...

I actually have the DEFIV version on my 435ix which includes an adjustable spherical end link, in addition to the yellow front bushing inserts

At the time I got the DEFIV - they had a 'small' diff & 'large' diff version - the difference was the bolt pattern spread of the plate portion of the bracket.

For my 435 AWD w/MPerf LSD I used the small version

Let me know how it goes

weehe126 · 05-13-2020, 08:01 PM

Going to install the subframe inserts first. So might be a bit.

Solid67 · 06-14-2020, 11:57 AM

Any update on this? On the B58 enthusiast FB page, BMS stated an xdrive version is coming out this week or the following week at the latest. I'd still like to hear from F-series rwd owners if this made an improvement.

alpinweiss340 · 11-25-2020, 03:05 AM

I reallyyyyyyy hate to bump a old topic. Sorry guys. I just didn’t want to start a new one.
Anyone have luck with the kit from bms? Seems like a few guys here bought it but never responded on how well it helped with wheel hop?
Would like to know if it helped any. Thanks

340i9114s · 11-27-2020, 08:33 AM

Does this work on the m performance LSD or just the stock open diff?

Solid67 · 04-14-2021, 01:57 AM

bumping this thread in hopes of hearing back from rwd or xdrive owners with this mod.

Twincisco1995 · 04-22-2021, 04:41 PM

So I just ordered their new brace which is supposed to be for x drive and going to try to install it this weekend and my friend who has a RWD just order one and hopefully we going to see how his fit and size difference
