Pointless rant: feel my open differential pain

GreenPlease · 07-16-2010, 11:41 AM

While running errands this morning I had three instances where I had to scoot through an intersection. All three instances I was taking a left, might have applied half throttle, revs never went over 4000rpms... all three times my left rear wheel spun and squealed. So embarrassing. WTF BMW?

Cool story bro. Go to the OT

GreenPlease · 07-16-2010, 11:46 AM

eh, I guess this probably does belong in OT. Mods please move... or just delete.

Forcefed3 · 07-16-2010, 11:56 AM

Just leave it. It will die off by the end of the day.

You would love a Quaife LSD. Then driving will feel the same with DSC and DTC on or off. Best mod I ever did. I'll give up all my mods but my LSD

The same? You are not driving hard enough

Totally feel your pain. There is nothing worse than taking off from a light with a little too much throttle only to spin and have the traction control kick in. I always feel like a retard with my car lurching around when this happens. My LSD goes in on Tuesday at atspeedmotorsports and I'm soo excited about it.

Well not exactly the same. I was just pointing out that it is way harder to get the DSC to step in and make you look stupid. The car over all is much faster with DSC deactivated but you don't have to remember to turn it off each time you get in the car. I need it off when I auto X or track though for sure.
