Cusco LSD BM4 F: Unmatched Traction for Your Ride

Experience the thrill of superior traction with the Cusco Limited Slip Differential (LSD) BM4 F. This high-performance differential is designed to enhance your vehicle's handling and power delivery, making it a must-have for serious driving enthusiasts.

Key Features

  • Customizable Settings: Choose between 2 of 3 settings with a simple overhaul, allowing you to tailor the LSD to your driving style.
  • Type RS Springs: These springs absorb initial torque more gently than the Type MZ, providing a smoother and more controlled response.
  • Low Initial Torque: Reduced friction translates to less power loss, resulting in quicker lap times—even for mildly tuned vehicles.
  • Durable Design: The lower pressure on the clutch plates not only improves durability but also reduces chatter, ensuring a quieter ride.
  • Less Maintenance: The reduced pressure allows for less frequent LSD oil changes, saving you time and effort.
  • Stable Operation: Precision springs in the pressure plate guarantee steady coil movement, enhancing overall performance.
  • Quick Response: The Type RS transfers extreme power without slipping, ensuring rapid response to your pedal inputs.

Performance Benefits

This differential is particularly beneficial for drag racing and drifting, offering a level of control and power transfer that factory components simply can't match. With the Cusco LSD BM4 F, you’ll find that your vehicle handles better under acceleration and deceleration, allowing for a more engaging driving experience.

Recommended Setup Options

Cusco provides tailored recommendations based on your drivetrain:

  • 1 Way LSD: Ideal for front-wheel-drive and AWD front axle vehicles. Activates under acceleration and behaves as a true LSD when the throttle is off.
  • 1.5 Way LSD: Perfect for those looking to minimize under-steer during deceleration. Activates under acceleration with reduced under-steer compared to a 2 way LSD.
  • 2 Way LSD: Best suited for rear-wheel-drive and AWD rear axle cars. Activates on both acceleration and deceleration, perfect for aggressive driving and drifting.

Specifications

The Cusco LSD BM4 F fits the following BMW models:

  • 1991-1998 BMW 318i
  • 1993-1998 BMW 318iS
  • 1993-1998 BMW 318Ti
