Oh dang that sucks. As long as you're in communication with them I'm sure its fine. But I do have a couple people who can't get their units built until more cores come back.

Oops, sorry. Will package up and ship out mine ASAP. Wanted more time on the new unit before sending the factory one back in.
Pretty amazing! I forgot to take photos of the two line corner exit marks... have to relearn corner exit now. Track wise, the upshifting DCT issues wasn't as bad. At least it's only if powering down early while the weight is on the front outside tire. No more funky upshifting in a straight-ish section (Autocross). I'm sure on the big tracks like COTA, it's be excellent. I'm trying to follow the other thread on converting the DCT to M3 logic and hoping to get the redline bounce verses upshift to go along with the LSD upgrade.
Street wise, I was surprised how much power wasn't getting down. Car is very planted. It's fun to hear squealing out of the drivers window for once.
I tend to not hold back... left hand sweeper jump.
Oh, I forgot about the wheel lift on corner exit from my co-driver. Lots of power getting down with the LSD now!
Just to understand this correctly-- I have a welded diff in my 135i MT. I just need to pay the amount, then I'll get a whole welded diff unit shipped to me, then I need to take my diff out and ship it back.
They will then give me the $500 back that they held. Hoping to get this done and have an option to get this done without having my car disassembled for weeks at a time waiting for parts.

You pay the price + core + shipping. You get a differential housing with LSD already inside. You remove your differential housing and return it. You get core deposit returned. The down time is limited to how long it takes you to remove and install the pumpkin. Unless, they do not have your differential for a core, then you'll have to send it in. I'm checking on these things for you now.
Thanks! If there is no down time other than how fast I can take my own diff out I'm game. What's preventing me from going through getting an LSD is the whole down time associated (was quoted 4-6 weeks from WaveTrac) to take my diff out, make my car immobile, then wait for the diff to come back to reinstall w/ the LSD.
Got my core deposit also back and LSD works great. Only trouble in whole process was really tight driveshaft assembly. In my old pumpkin it was much more loose. Thanks doublespaces for arranging this group buy!
Hey thanks for posting and glad you are satisfied! Do you have Any tips?
Did you follow a DIY?
Did it come full of oil and in how many miles should you flush it?
I know the 50mm tool and new hardware is a must but is there anything else?
Thank you!
One detail from my Z4 MFactory LSD install. (Z4 is different somewhat, so not sure translation is 100%). The input nut is 50mm and the BMW factory tool is something like $600, I've heard. Instead we used a Tusk axle nut wrench. It actually comes in a two-pack but is dirt cheap. https://mxpowerplay.com/shop/tools/...nch-2-50mm-fits-yamaha-warrior-350-1987-2004/
Hope this helps,

Eagle has landed and did arrive with return shipping label...
I will be Installing it this Sunday
Diff ships with no oil in it so make sure you have new oil. I will try and snap some pics and talk about any tips post install on here if there’s any extra steps worth taking etc

Alright, what's the trick to getting the nut off the back of the drive shaft to get it out of the differential? Push the wrench towards the passenger side correct? I've sprayed it down with PB blaster and it just will not budge so I feel like I have to be doing something wrong.
Depends which way you look at it. If you’re looking at the back of the car you turn it counter clockwise
