Diffsonline E30 Racing Differential (325i & M3)

Diffsonline builds a wide variety of BMW differentials in house to accommodate the several different differential housings used in modern BMW’s. They start by cleaning the differential housing, then select the industry’s finest ring and pinion gears, apply the desired clutch packs and options, and finally carefully assemble the housing to be shipped to your door.

Custom built to your specification, the Diffsonline Racing Differential is the best performing diff you can put in your car.  Multiple options in gear ratio and limited slip units available.

Limited Slip Options:

Diffsonline 2-clutch option: This is a BMW limited slip carrier which uses the traditional 2-clutch setup. The unit is set to 40% static lock unless a lower amount is requested by the customer, and it utilizes the stock ramp angles of 45/45 (acceleration/deceleration). This limited slip differential is much more durable than the factory M Variable factory unit and is well-suited for street and track use. We recommend using Redline 75W110 gear oil for this application.

Diffsonline 3-clutch option: This is a BMW limited slip carrier with a third clutch pack. The unit is set to 40% static lock unless a different amount is requested by the customer, and it utilizes the stock ramp angles of 45/45 (acceleration/deceleration). This limited slip differential is much more durable than the factory M Variable unit and is well-suited for street and heavy track use. We recommend using Redline 75W110 gear oil for this application.

Diffsonline 3-clutch option with 30/90 ramps: This is a BMW limited slip carrier with 3 clutch packs and ramp angles which are modified from stock. The unit is set to 40% static lock unless a different amount is requested by the customer, and it uses ramps which are modified to 30/90 (acceleration/deceleration). This limited slip differential is much more durable than the factory M Variable unit and is well-suited for street and race use. Other ramp angles are available by request. We recommend using Redline 75W110 gear oil for this application.

Diffsonline 3-clutch option with 35/60 ramps: This is a BMW limited slip carrier with 3 clutch packs and ramp angles which are modified from stock. The unit is set to 40% static lock unless a different amount is requested by the customer, and it uses ramps which are modified to 35/60 (acceleration/deceleration).

Diffsonline Compact (medium) Race Carrier: This unit weighs in at just 14 pounds while other options weigh 22 pounds or more; the lower reciprocating mass helps to give you a competitive edge over the competition. This unit uses 6 clutches and single-driven ramps; making it the best working and most tunable limited slip on the market. The preload is controlled by coil springs so that preload is not lost as the unit wears. Since this is a Diffsonline exclusive product, we offer custom tuning assistance for your race team, and we can also cut any ramp and set preload anywhere you wish. We have a great baseline setting which covers 95% of cars running normal suspension setups. We recommend Redline 75W110, Motul Comp FF, or Castrol SAF-XJ fluid for this differential. NOTE: Please contact us for your specific requirements on this unit.

This unit is a race carrier and is recommended for race/track applications only, and this is the go-to unit for BMW’s running ST in Grand Am (E82, E90 or F30), and in any serious race environment. Many podium finishes have also been achieved in World Challenge by cars utilizing this setup.
