M Performance LSD
Hey guys, just got a call from my performance parts manager at my dealer and the M LSD is now available and in stock. 2-3 weeks delivery.
I'm scheduled for a August 6th install. For reference the price I got was 4,225 all in plus tax (including labor, part came in at ~3600). All Canadian dollars obviously. |

Might have to take the car up to castrol for a lapping day! The exhaust is something I really wonder, do you like the sound? I think the car already sounds pretty fantastic so I'm good there. I'm not really a tuner, I like cars to be 100% stock. I broke my rule for the LSD though. |

I will admit the first time I tried to chuck it into a corner with a bit of throttle it slid easily and beautifully. Very controlled. That was sport+ as well! I have also noticed that it helps transitions for loose/gravel to asphalt ie when turning onto a highway with enough power to merge I to traffic. Usually traction control would cut a lot with one wheel in the dirt. Basically it's a good LSD. The install was quick and professional and it also hasn't affect fuel economy negatively, not that it should have by you never know. Also very satisfying to leave little 11's instead of the sad 1 tire fire that this car comes with stock. Great addition to the car. I'm going to have to get it onto the track soon to make further conclusions. I think it will also make a dramatic difference in inclement conditions. Which is 80% of the year in Canada. |

Another thing to note is that while we get our panties in a bunch about our cars not having this optional/standard lots of other performance cars don't have them.
Hell even many monsterous AMG's don't have LSD's. For a long time I believe they were unavailable/optional depending on locale on C63's. My buddies new E63 doesn't even have with with almost 600 hp. Need the AMG "S" to get one. |

No haggling, Colin wouldn't budge. I made myself seem desperate enough by harassing him every 2 weeks since I picked up the car on availability lol.
Where did you see me? There is 1 other EB in calgary. Passed by him on deerfoot about a month ago. |

Thanks for the info... Yeah these LSD are hard to get. Especially if you want it to be part of your lease and fully residualized. I am hoping it creates a more balanced car. I have the MPPK on a 335 and the eDiff helps but way too much inner wheel slippage. So after all the effort this better be worth it.

Screw the e diff it's useless for anything above a 20 series engine. It's a damn expensive part but I really don't care. Cars are more important to me than money which makes me sadly destined to being ripped off by bmw. Basically I work to buy m cars lol. |

Hard to say, we were going in opposite directions. I miss the first couple months we enjoyed of being one of 3 or 4 cars in the city.
