Replacement rear Diff: Standard or Quaife

niall1 · 27-06-2015, 03:42 PM

Hi Guys

I need to replace my rear diff as after 60k miles it has too much play for my liking. Took it off and had a look to make sure as it was clonking like mad. The noise was partially rear driveshaft play (replacements on order since May from BMW Germany with ETA of August..

) but mostly sloppy movement within the diff. I've been looking into my replacement options as the OEM if f'in expensive and Quaife appear to offer an 'uprated' solution:

I use the car as my daily (fast B road equivalent) and the occasional track day. It doesn't get spared and I enjoy a bit of cornering 'movement' on my daily drive home..

Has anyone fitted the Quaife Diff and have any insight as to whether it's an improvement on OEM?

Thanks
Niall
