Z4 sdrive35i question

dimitris003 · 02-11-2022, 08:25 AM

Hey guys! New member here.
I am planning to get an e89 sdrive35i soon and I wanted to ask about the fun you can get with the car. I know it comes with no lsd, so I would assume that you won't be able to get it in a proper drift like an m car. But for anyone who owns the car can you do powerslides and stuff at a satisfying level?

It's a stock open diff, but you can easily just install an MFactory LSD. Your question depends on what you're trying to achieve with this platform..

Here's a link for info on LSDs you can put on the e89: https://bmwtuning.co/bmw-135i-335i-n...rential-guide/

Scroll to the middle for the different types and average prices. If you really want to make it unbreakable, you can slap a Ford 8.8 diff on.
