M Performance Limited Slip Differential

Description

The BMW M Performance limited-slip differential is a mechanical rear-axle transmission that serves to reduce slip when one of the wheels has less grip. The differential lock gives the wheel more torque via the improved grip. The M Performance limited-slip differential thus optimizes traction and ensures even more controlled and precise handling at the limits. A real highlight for a demanding and sporty driving style. Whether rain, snow or dry conditions - traction is improved in all road conditions. However, if the driver deactivates all control systems (display: DSC deactivated/DSC off), this requires a considered driving style in wet and snowy conditions and is only recommended on closed-off terrain. Functionality: -The torque-sensing M Performance limited-slip differential ensures regulated, optimum power distribution to the rear axle. The core function of the limited-slip differential is to balance the drive power between the wheels on the rear axle. Unlike ESP, it does not brake the wheel with less grip, but distributes the engine power to both wheels. With the help of intelligent mechanics, there is a significant improvement in traction, allowing power to be converted into propulsion. As a result, acceleration out of the curve is possible sooner. -The different locking effect in traction mode (when the engine is driving) and overrun mode (e.g. when the foot is taken off the gas) means that the M Performance limited-slip differential is optimally matched to the vehicle. -The proportional slip of the limited-slip differential has been adapted to the dynamic behavior of the vehicle. This ensures a smooth transition from one mode to the other. Even with spirited driving, the handling is therefore always predictable and the vehicle can be controlled at all times.
