LSD for manual trans 3.5i

So I've been digging into the LSD. I blissfully figured $1k or so and install, and this would be a worthwhile thing to do. THen I discovered the ring gear is welded up. Anyone have a clue what it costs to get actually get an LSD in one of our cars? Any suggestions?

LSD FOR 35i

Hi, forelli,
I am having a Quaife ATB LSD fitted to my Z4 28i in June. My model 28i has a simple bolted crownwheel diff, whereas as you say your welded diff is more complicated.
Click Birds BMW Quaife London and they will give you a full discription of exactly what is envolved, and the name Worldwide says it all. They are the best. Good luck from NW Scotland, regards, Richard.

I have been running an M-Factory helical LSD for over 1 year and could not be happier. I purchased a complete prebuilt pumpkin as I did not want any finger pointing if anything went wrong in the future. Best price was "Black Friday" special. Install from an indy ran $400. M- factory communications with Stephen was excellent.

Tuned and running 435WHP and 470 lb/ft at wheels.

Hmmm ... I saw some complete units listed by MFactory on ***********, but that was some time ago. They don't list complete units, or the price to have them mod the welded diff, so I wrote them for specifics on what's available from them.

Thanks,

Filippo

its 2600 shipped with the core charge. you get your 600 core charge back when you return your pumpkin. install is typically 300-400 for most reputable shops.
