MFactory Helical LSD's - Lifetime Warranty, 30-Day Money Back Guarantee!

mob17 · 02-08-2014, 10:30 PM

Hi,

Your company and ideas seem very promising. Especially for us welded guys.

I have an '08 E92 335D, and i'm based in the UK. Do you have a workshop in the UK?

MFactory · 02-09-2014, 02:57 AM

We have an office in Glasgow which, at the moment, only handles sales enquiries and returns. We are planning on setting up a facility in the UK, but are still working out the logistics.

335dwagon · 02-09-2014, 03:07 AM

I can possibly unbolt my 335d differential and ship to you for development. Can you tell me this, If I do ship my unit to you with 103K Kilometers, can you develop a LSD option and ring gear for the US guys and also send me mine back completely built? Mine is from an 07 335d wagon. Do you happen to offer a billet differential cover?

MFactory · 02-09-2014, 03:16 AM

After we receive the pumpkin, we would disassemble, take our measurements, then reassemble and ship back to you so that you could get your car back on the road. This would take a couple weeks. If this is a spare pumpkin, or you have another car to drive and are willing to wait the 2-3 months, we could rebuild it with the new LSD and Final Drive before shipping back to you.

We don't have a billet diff cover unfortunately.

Hi. I have a 2007 E90 335i AT with LARGE bolted diff. Please add me to the group buy list.

Come on everyone, we only need three more to sign up!!! Can't wait to get my LSD!

*edited to clarify large bolted AT.

We are still looking for a DCT fitment. If you could ask your friend to PM me, that would be great

We've still to work out the costs for the replacement final drives, but going by our current MSRP ($599.95) for our other BMW fitments, the "package price" would be $999.95 for the LSD and a few hundred for the final drive.

BMOEW · 02-13-2014, 10:18 AM

I have a 2011 335is. How long will you guys need the diff for? And where is your location thanks

MFactory · 02-13-2014, 11:39 AM

Yeah, we still need to find a DCT sample. We would need the diff for around 2-3 weeks, so we can take our measurements etc, then we can ship back to you. It would then be around 2-3 months for the new LSD and final drives to be ready.

Our facility is in San Dimas, CA.

Thanks!

I thought that the manual trans ratios were 3.08 and Auto's had a 3.46 Gear ratio...

Yup, that is correct.

I am interested in pumbkin setup for welded 6mt when it is available. Plz let me know when the product is ready.

MFactory · 02-17-2014, 02:41 PM

Will be around 2-3 months

dontask · 02-17-2014, 08:51 PM

Do your LSDs require any sort of maintenance?

MFactory · 02-18-2014, 04:24 AM

The Helical LSD's do not require any maintenance, no.

The Plate LSD's do require maintenance (the plates and springs)

Can you elaborate on this maintenance for the plate types? I'm assuming more frequent differential oil changes for one.

MFactory · 02-18-2014, 11:00 AM

Depending on how you put the Plate LSD to use, the wear will be on the plates (the plates rub against each other. This is what causes the lock) and the springs (these provide the pre-load, but will wear with time).

Due to the rubbing of the plates, and increased heat, this will also mean you will need to change the differential oil more often than what an oem or Helical LSD would need.

GreekboyD · 02-18-2014, 04:10 PM

Thanks again for your reply.

Does the plates have to be serviced/replaced after certain usage?
