Here in the UK, BMW retrofit LSD is coming in at 3.5-4k GBP fitted depending on which dealer you talk to.

I have quaife [had them on previous cars]. 50% of the cost of BMW unit and v happy with results.

Ditto here.

Been running a Quaife ATB diff from Birds on my M135i. Makes an appreciable difference to how the car drives and accelerates, even on the road...

Just a shame they don't want to help if it goes wrong. Advise from birds on a forum members was "take it to bmw and don't tell them about the LSD"

Harsh - are you speaking from 1st hand experience or rumour ? If the latter, shame on you.

I have had Birds fettle 2 of my cars so far and not had any issues with their after sales support. Only v minor niggles but they dealt with them w/o any drama.

Birds offer 2yrs warranty on their work and quaife comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Have to side with the second poster here. One person's experience over something that may have had nothing to do with the diff is not the way to judge a company rep. Birds would not have gained its good reputation and have lasted as long as they have if they didn't look after their customers.
ALL... And then ask Birds if they'd care to comment!!!

No not first hand experience, as in it didn't happen to me, but I am repeating what the person who had it happen said on another forum.

But yeah quaife products are very good. I'd still go that route if I wanted a diff
