This M235i/M240i differential uses a 3.08 gear ratio, standard for M235i/M235xi with auto or manual transmission and used in M240i with manual transmission.
Does the BMW M240i have a limited slip differential?
The popular QUAIFE ATB Limited-Slip Differential is now available and in stock for the F20 M140i, F22 M240i, F30 340i and F32 440i, exclusively at BIRDS. Only the M-Powers arrive from the factory properly equipped with a mechanical limited-slip differential.
Is limited-slip differential good in snow?
The limited-slip differential is also suitable for clear road conditions. It is like an open differential because engine torque gets transferred to each individual wheel. But for roads with snow and ice, a limited-slip differential is not going to be much better than an open differential.
What engine is in BMW M235i?
Part sedan, part crossover, part M car, the new 2 Series Gran Coupe tries to do a lot with a little
| 2020 BMW M235i xDrive Gran Coupe | |

Is the M240i faster than the M2?
The former gives it better grip than the rear-drive M2 and the latter provides far quicker shifts than the M2’s six-speed manual. The BMW M240i simply flew ahead of the M2, taking a big lead that kept growing throughout the race.
Does the BMW 135i have a limited slip differential?
Unfortunately, the 135i and 335i powered by the N54 received open differentials from BMW. It’s a serious limiting factor for those looking to make more power and/or track their cars. A limited slip differential is an excellent mod to help put more power down.
How does the Mercedes-Benz M2’s limited slip differential work?
The M2 gets an electronically-controlled, multi-plate limited slip-differential that’s able to send up to 100 per cent of power to either rear wheel. It’s clever too – how it operate depends on steering lock, throttle position, brake pressure and yaw rate.
How much torque does a limited slip differential add?
The limited slip differential will then send up to 350 torque (70%) to the wheel with more traction. Assuming it has the traction to put down the full 350 torque then you actually still have a usable 500 torque.
What is a limited slip differential (LSD)?
Unlike open differentials, limited slip differentials can vary the torque to each wheel. Generally, an N54 LSD can send up to roughly 70% of the torque to the wheel with the most traction. Let’s circle back to the previous example. One wheel only requires 150 torque before losing traction.
