MFactory Helical LSD Group Buy

bradsm87 · 06-18-2014, 07:09 PM

I'm in no way affiliated with MFactory but rather an interested customer if we can get 5 LSDs in the group buy. I believe that they are a sponsor anyway so no rules broken.

MFactory have said that we can mix and match ANY BMW helical LSDs, all for AU$850 each shipped, as long as we get 5 in total! This applies to anybody in either Australia or NZ.

Fitment list can be found here:
http://www.teammfactory.com/helical-lsd_BMW

Please post in this thread AND PM me if genuinely ready to buy one of these.

Info on the MFactory helical LSD can be found:

So far we have:

Small bolted (MF-TRS-05E46A): bradsm87, t651 @ e46fanatics, CCK135I, mcmn
Large bolted (MF-TRS-05E92): huber
E46 330Ci (Unsure if Auto or Manual) - selien @ e46fanatics

I'm keen to get my hands on one ASAP so please tell all your friends, share on Facebook, do whatever you have to do!

Do you know if they have developed the ring gear and pinion for the welded 135i 6MT? last time I spoke to them they were due in July.

This is what I'm interested in.
Or an approximate cost to have someone over here put it all together?

imske3000 · 06-18-2014, 07:57 PM

Hi dan, I have done a bit of research so I might save you some time, I spoke to Mfactory HQ it costs $850 for the diff and it will cost $300-400 for the welded bits but they are not engineered yet, the reseller here charges an extra $300 for the diff, he didn't give me a price for the ring gear. Fitting wise... Where are you based?

sliderpass · 06-18-2014, 08:29 PM

Same here, interested if they can manufacture the ring gear for a welded 135i diff - do we know when these will be available?

Cheers Simon

They said July to me three months ago but nothing concrete yet, I spoke to the US rep last week, he is in japan at the moment and is going to let me know when he gets back to the US. I will keep you posted.

Moocow · 06-20-2014, 05:01 AM

possibly interested!

dan_brooks · 06-20-2014, 05:23 AM

Hmm, my local independent workshop in Brisbane machines and installs diffs on manuals. Just trying to eliminate the labour they have to do!

Heard back from Mfactory, they said "they will be ready in approximately one month"

VTT135 · 06-21-2014, 11:53 PM

100% will do this aswell if they can provide the parts for the manual welded diff

It's for a welded 6MT. They are building a ring gear and pinion that will have the same bolt pattern as a bolted diff, that means you will be able to use the Mfactory gears with a Quaife and Wavetrac LSD as well.

c0ris07 · 06-22-2014, 01:18 AM

I'm pretty sure there's gonna be ALOT of interest in the welded ring gear when it comes out. I know I am waiting on it so I don't have to pay 4k for a diff from the states....

VTT135 · 06-22-2014, 01:25 AM

I'm
Abit confused. Stock diff is welded so what is the process to install this LSD?

Read this,

http://www.vacmotorsports.com/blog/3...no-lsd-really/

Then this,

http://www.vacmotorsports.com/blog/v...-how-we-do-it/

Basically, mFactory are developing their own ring gear so we can buy a core like all the bolted guys and have it built.

At present all other options suck

VTT135 · 06-22-2014, 01:50 AM

so your saying instead of machining the stock ring you get there ring and there core lsd and it fits up with the stock diff?

VTT135 · 06-22-2014, 02:46 AM

It will be the ring gear and the pinion, they have to come in a set so the teeth are worn evenly for a smooth meshing. If you put a new ring gear on with the old pinion you run the chance of getting noise.

Tak3n · 06-23-2014, 03:44 AM

If this is shipped to my door for $850 I might be interested.

Where would you guys recommend getting this installed?

CCK135I · 06-23-2014, 06:39 AM

If this is $850 including shipping I'm in. PM sent.
