Differential Lift Kit - Amazing sound
Just watched this video by Misha Charoudin and they installed a "diff lift kit" on their M2 and the sound from the differential is amazing.
Has anyone here done that yet or have any experience with it? Modifications Walkthrough here: Lap of the 'Ring with mods here:

I get the appeal of the sound but having a similar sound in my 350z due to a worn ring and pinion it will drive u insane for a street driven car.
Interesting concept about the diff lift though

I Have this kit and am putting it all in this weekend. I personally loved the sound in my M3 with diff bushings.

The lift kit is for correction but it's a full kit. This is the kit I have.
https://www.teamschirmerparts.com/co...fferential-kit If you didn't want to do the lift kit, these are available: https://www.kmpdrivetrain.com/produc...4-bushing-set/ https://www.kmpdrivetrain.com/produc...4-bracket-set/ KMP makes very solid gear too. Hope that helps. Last edited by ebisu8; 06-17-2021 at 09:39 AM.. |

More than likely because KMP produces the kit for Schirmer. If you didn't want that sound, I believe there is an ECS kit that may be less harsh/solid.

When I drove it the few times i did have the windows down and music on so I honestly couldn't hear it. I'll drive windows up and music off tomorrow. I was bummed when I couldn't hear it.

Ok. I heard the diff whine but it's not as loud as the videos AND I have full interior still. Perhaps that maybe why? I had full interior on the e92 and it was louder than this. So I'm not sure what the deal is with it but I can hear it, it just isn't that loud.

I just installed the diff kit. The "whine" is imperceptible below speeds of 60 mph. Above that it's a very low whine until you get to about 110 mph and then you start to notice it more. But even at that level, the sound isn't obtrusive. I have a half cage, with rear seat delete, but still have the carpeting. You can barely hear it during highway driving. I'm a tad disappointed that the whine isn't louder! I also installed full SPL kinematics.

Absolutely. Didn't realize the "slop" that existed with the 6mt. Immediate engagement, especially at low revs. The initial "shudder" is gone.
