RacingDiffs LSD Conversion Set for BMW Non-M Models

Upgrade your BMW's differential with the RacingDiffs LSD Conversion Set—engineered for enthusiasts who demand superior traction, durability, and performance from their drivetrain. Designed for easy installation, this kit transforms your open differential into a progressive limited slip, inspired by the renowned ZF plated LSD units.

  • Material Quality: Plates are manufactured from premium tool steel, heat-treated and nitrated for exceptional wear resistance. Friction discs—crafted from the same high-grade material as the clutch plates—are included to eliminate the risk of metal shavings, a common issue with budget kits.
  • Progressive LSD Function: Features ramp angles for low pre-load and dynamic locking capability. Enjoy open diff behavior in slow turns and true limited slip performance under load, ensuring optimal torque distribution to both wheels.
  • Easy Mount Version: No spider gear machining required. All essential installation components are included.
