Bratex Limited Slip Differential BMW E39/E46/E53 188L differential

This Bratex limited slip differential (helical gearing) made from8620 alloysteel is compatible with BMW E39, E46, E53, E60, E81, E83, E85, E87, E90, E92 and F25 with 188L differential.

It is fitted directly in place of the original differential.

Bratex LSDs are designed to have a 5:1 torque split. This means that if one wheel loses drive, the wheel with the most grip can receive up to 5 times more torque than the slipping wheel.

Bratex limited slip differentials operate progressively less abruptly than a disc differential, their setting varies continuously according to the drop in drive, they use no discs (no wear) and they are very gentle on the original drive while retaining very good efficiency.

Features of this self-locking system:

• Smooth and progressive engagement
  
• Minimal and easy maintenance
  
• Equal revolutions per minute at both wheels
  
• Torque distributed according to the drive
  
• No disc wear (no dismantling)
