Description

The Wavetrac Limited Slip Differential is engineered with a patent-pending design to enhance traction in challenging conditions. This differential drives both wheels simultaneously, leading to improved acceleration and more precise cornering capabilities. Unlike other helical gear differentials, Wavetrac units maintain performance even when one wheel experiences a loss of traction, such as when lifting off the throttle or encountering uneven surfaces. Specifically designed for BMW vehicles equipped with the 215K axle and a bolted ring gear, this differential is compatible with a range of models. Applications include the 1997-1999 E39 540i, the 2000-2004 E52 Z8, and the 2006-03/2007 E9X 335i (both automatic and manual transmissions). The Wavetrac differential is intended for use with a gear ratio of 2.81 or higher. This limited slip differential comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, underscoring Wavetrac's commitment to quality and durability.

MIA's Description
