Also curious as he said that the diff is initially filled with brake fluid?
I change the fluid about twice a year. Once before the track season and once after the track season.

Try Sun Motors BMW or your local dealer. Sun was below $2,000, but my dealer offered nearly the same plus install (3.5 hours install time, per BMW book time). It's pretty easy to find the MP LSD for $1,900-2,000 now.

This is probably my last mod to complete my setup, i don't have any plans of upgrading turbo since I'm plenty satisfied with my FBO and tune setup!

Other than jacking up the rear?

Rest assure the car would've been sold as having one because they're incredibly rare and were almost always installed by the previous owner.

I bet the take rate for the LSD was less than 1%.

Anyone know the UK price for these? The Birds LSD requires rebuilding your stock diff - this seems like a better option that could be taken off the car when it comes time to sell.

Does anyone know if the F30 LSD will work on the F22? The F30 ones are on a crazy discounted sale right now so I'm keen to pick one up. Bonus on the slightly lower gear ratio too.

Wow! How is this not getting more attention? This must be a price mistake, but hopefully it gets honored.

Wondered the same thing, I have 2 on order at least 2 other vendors have similar pricing, delivery was recently bumped from mid may to mid July. The local dealer mentioned I would need other m3/4 related parts to make it work in f32, possibly tone ring or axles I cant remember anything after "yes it will fit"

What is your dealer talking about? These were made specifically for the 335i/435i!

Just making sure you saw the other thread.. I am very very likely going to throw the auto model into my 6MT. Assuming it hooks up correctly, the only thing is a slight gear ratio change, which might even be a positive for my car.

I am thinking hit this before the prices changes.
