BMW X-Drive Front LSD Differential

[MFactory]

Does no harm

 

[Cheezy]

I'm acquiring a front diff from another 2011 335xi AT e90. Any use for sending it in, or should I just see if it's bolted/welded? @MFactory

I think there was some confusion over whether the n55s were different (I still doubt they are) but this should put that to bed.

I think the only thing they may need sent in is a 3.08 bolted and/or welded. @Twisted Tuning already sent in a welded 3.46 and I'm going to send in a bolted 3.46.

Edit: I just saw mfactory's reply. Does no harm.

I think at this point if they are both the same size and etc. And the cases are the same, just make one type and people will just buy the full diff and remove their old one bolted or welded.

I would agree. That would hopefully keep cost down and speed things up.

Actually it can. Setting up a machine to produce a batch of something is one of the most time consuming parts of doing the manufacturing.

Because of this, each different ratio we ask for costs a significant amount, and the only way to mitigate this cost is to buy in volume (let the machine make a bunch once its setup) so asking for additional ratios is likely a no go I'd bet.

o ok. I didn’t know. Well they are alreadygoing to have to make 2 different ones for at and mt right?

Yes, of course. Our address is:

I could send in a welded diff if you would like. It's sitting on my shelf.

If we can get a update on this, I would be willing to sign up on the list. My hesitation is that I have been watching this thread for two years with little to no progress. Is this list for buyers even current?

I think there is more than enough interest. We need this in 2020.

@MFactory we have 25 confirmed buyers, I have a bolted sample I can send in for r&d. Can we get this moving?

Did you ever get a chance to send the diff in? So far we have 29 people, so definitely enough interest . Hope this happens this year as a few of us now have built motors and want to test these bad boys .

 

[RSTECH]

I think at this point if they are both the same size and etc. And the cases are the same, just make one type and people will just buy the full diff and remove their old one bolted or welded.

Yup, agree bolted or not just make the full diff with two gear ratio options 3.08 and 3.46, swap diffs and move on....

 

[Maniac0908]

29!? Ok @Twisted Tuning and @MFactory get the process going. I’ll buy 2 if I have to. So that’s your 30!
