limited slip Diffs?

[Crispin]

Hi there.. just wondering if anyone had explored this option ... Ive got a 2018 AMG 250d .. but like to go off piste. If A limited slip diff could be installed after market, it would be interesting as clearly were not alowed the 4 matic version in RHD.?

I know someone who had a Quaife LSD fitted to BMW. That was for improved handling/traction of a road car though. Not sure about off road performance.

Thanks for that, i just sent an e mail to them, havnt done a Vito yet but hes checking it out, not enough demand!
I report back with my findings, its not an urgent extra, but just enquiring - i just fitted some nice Nokian allweathers.. but only one wheel traction if you get stuck!

Wet grass camping fields and rear wheel drive!!! I guess a LSD would help.

What do you think of the grip as in above conditions with the Nokian AW and how about road noise in he cabin?

Hi, so far just fitted yesterday.. Ive done my research, softer ride/ running at 42psi front and 44psi rear no road noise and they balance up really well with no more than 10grams to 25g max lead/nice tread pattern, road trip Tuesday with heavy trailer london and back ill report, ( Im on 17ins rims AMG spec, a bit unusual?) they look nice.
