Wavetrac Limited-Slip Differential – Preassembled Unit for BMW Models
Wavetrac LSD as a fully assembled unit – BMW E39/E60 5 SERIES DIESEL (215K) BOLTED OEM RING GEARS R=2.35-2.81
In BMW models, the limited-slip differential is, according to many of our customers, the best and first upgrade one should make to the car, even though it is a significant investment. The impact on drivability, traction, and performance is substantial, and the overall behavior of the car becomes noticeably more predictable and easier to control.
The LSD benefits both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models, although the need is most pronounced in the former. With an open factory differential or a lightly locking stock differential, the car tends to spin its wheels unpredictably, reducing traction and stability.
BMW models typically use Torsen-type differentials such as Quaife ATB or Wavetrac, which work seamlessly with the car’s original stability control system, require no maintenance, and perform their task unobtrusively. Wavetrac, however, features even more advanced technology, including patented protection against zero-traction scenarios. Always reliable locking!
