Brilliant video helped me i run a welded diff in my drift car and with dsc fully off the e diff was trying to apply brakes and bog down ive since followed this video and coded the e diff off and it spins them like a trooper
All the clutch type diff I ever had had to be finely tuned with slip fluid additives. You add the proper fluid with zero lsd slip in it then add 10ml of LSD slip fluid at a time until it works correctly. I never seen a clutch pack type LSD even a factory stock one work correctly with out doing that. IMO car manf. are afraid people will get hurt in the rain with a too aggressive LSD. Inthe 80s toyota put a 14 clutch lsd in the MKIII supra and people crashed and died from snap over-steer due to a strong aggressive LSD. A lawsuit resulted in Toyota modifying how they build/assembled the MKIII LSD, they just disabled the clutches by packing them backwards I still see this sometimes when rebuilding them the correct way. th-cam.com/video/owQFJ1QmnBY/w-d-xo.html
You can do this nanny removal with ProTools very easy. If you haven't checked out protools it's a must for diagnosing and coding tons of BMW platforms. I use it on my 335i and it's great. Love the TH-cam channel man keep up the great work. PS I have one of these racing diffs LSDs and I've had hell trying to find a machine shop locally that will grind my gears. It's been a letdown so far :-/.
@@VehicularDIY I actually went to a place that does industrial grinding and the topic of holding the gear came up. I have an idea, hold the gear with a cut down output shaft. Put the gear in it's natural locked down position with the circlip holding it on the shaft. Then have a large washer under the gear base and weld it in place. That way the gear could never push down past that point.
Daaamn I didn't know that! That's why my F20 after some serious sliding on snow cuts power or trow a dsc error! Thank you so much!!!! I'm definitively going to install an LSD! Do you also know the procedure on f20 platform? It would be so usefull!!! I'm also watching all your latest videos as i also have the b48, man thank you so much for your help!✌
My assumption was that DSC doesn't interfere with aftermarket LSD any more than without , anyways you can turn DSC off right, long press. Will have to look into this when LSD some day
Yeah a long press does disable everything but the diff locker, it's always active even when you turn everything off. It'll let you light up your tires but it's always there and will eventually cut engine timing to stop the brakes from overheating.
This video was posted 7 months ago in may!! Great content but the pinnacle of this conversion is what it's like turning tight corners in day to day normal situations. Do you have any videos regards to the car hopping or jumping due to it being locked too much for slow and steady turns, say in a car park? Thanks in advance 👌
Not sure if it's just me, but I followed the steps exactly and when I re-read the ECU down into NCSDummy, the settings are reverted back to stock. So it seems like the changes are not sticking. Have you verified that your changes took?
Do you know of this coding would be available for an F10 550i (N63) X-Drive? I want the dang E-LSD to stop nannying when I am wanting to power slide or all wheel drift.
When mine n54 335i has full dsc off with open diff for most burnouts i do allways have 2 tyres marks. the other day i done 2nd gear launche spun 2 wheels all the way to red line. So the e-lsd acts like a actually mechanical traditional lsd diff?
From experience with an open diff it is possible to get 2 tires marks if the conditions are correct but it's hard to get consistency. The ABS controller monitors wheel speed and if one wheel gets too much slip it hits the brakes on that wheel to send engine power to the other wheel and when that wheel gets too much slip it diverts it back etc. That helps but ultimately you're hitting the brakes and slowing the car down to keep it stable but it's better than nothing. It was basically free for BMW to program that into the DSC module so why not. I guess you could say it's a form of computerized torque biasing. I'm not an expert on this and there are various types of LSDs but I'd say a LSD is naturally partially locked at all times and when you overcome one wheel it uses momentum to clamp down harder to try and maintain lock.
Would you happen to know if E61 535d 2008 also have this eLSD ? I have install insides of M5 diff to mine and i dont know if i should look into that or nor hmmm
Have you confirmed that a hex value of 00 for brake overheating is actually off. I have a 2007 335i mk60.87.coa module which I believe come standard as 00. Also, when you coded the values off, did it stop the power reduction and braking? How does it drive compared to before coding? Thanks.

Hi mate, quite late reply, but my 325i also came stock with hex 00 which I believe was Power reduction on. Then I coded it to wert01 and it seems like there is no power reduction now. Have to do a proper test drive but so far it feels great.
Love the vids! If the limited slip is doing its job and the DTC DSC is turned off I’m confused why you would need to code this out? I understand for review purposes you want only the LSD borking however, if the limited slip is working the system to even come on. I purchased the same limited slip and waiting for the final verdict before installing!
That was my logic at first, I thought maybe it would compliment the LSD but really it seems to just cause the DSC to be in the dark when a slip is about to occur as now both wheels break loose together and it's like it shocks the system and it kicks in hard. Before you could power through and barely lose momentum if that make sense. I think the car considers a sudden loss of traction on both wheels more of an extreme situation vs one wheel losing traction as that's more of a normal occurrence.
Yeah with traction fully off it will no longer step in. Technically on these cars the electronic diff locker is always on so you never really have traction full off unless you do this coding. From what I've read it's way better to have this unless you have a mechanical LSD which I do now so I turned it off.
My exact complaint about the system as well! Not the way you want anything related to power to the wheels to work. Cutting power is the opposite of what I want to happen.
Huh? I ordered one of these kits too, one of my specific questions to the manufacturer was if coding for the dynamic traction control was necessary and they told me no. I can't even get inpa to download properly on my laptop. Bought 2 versions on eBay and even tried to download the sketchy online version but it won't run. I'm screwed
I followed your instructions on coding the diff and the value for engine power reduction was already at 00 for me while the diff lock was at 01...any reason why it would be at 00 ?
Yes as you're only coding the DSC module. It's independent from the ECU and won't hurt your JB4 or MHD flash. You'd only want to do this if you have an LSD, I've heard the car drives terribly with a stock open diff and the E-Diff coded out.
@@VehicularDIY yeah I can imagine how terrible it would be to drive with the e-lsd. I distribute the Racing Diff products in South Africa and have just fitted the conversion kit to my personal car (135i 6mt), so doing this will really help.
@@VehicularDIY Are you sure? Even when dtc and traction control of? Or only with it on? I often break traction and nomatter what i never experience power loss because of heat in break...
@@VehicularDIY You know what, im going to check right now...my vehicle is an EU car without m-pack. From what i can read, it should not have it. But my guess is that it could be active. I could save 0-60 time with an e-diff. Running 275/30 just to get the power down :/ I have an n57 engine with a tune, ton of torque! Always breaks traction!
So, where and how do i get this kit sent to Poland? Is it reliable long term? Im thinking about getting one to my e92 n54 manual. Hope someone can give some details ;)

There is a follow up video but I haven't hit the track yet to test my 60ft. It is a good traction aid and the performance hasn't degraded. If I can cut a sub 2.0 60 ft at the track then it's doing something.
It's just a completely open standard differential, the traction control module is what always regulates how much spin one wheel can get before it applies the brakes and tries to shift power to the other wheel which hopefully has more grip. I just deactivated that system in this video. If you want to see the inside of differential check the video description, there is a playlist where I pop open my stock differential.
@@VehicularDIY gotcha, thanks. From your video title i assumed you were saying it has a locking diff. I honestly skipped through most of your video were you probably mentioned it in detail. great channel btw.
@@VehicularDIY " It's just a completely open standard differential ..." is the salient point. There is no Electronically controlled clutches in the open differential, hence no "E diff"nor "E LSD."
Gee, no BMW doesn't have an imitation of LSD, it has a classical open diff with the most standard traction control applied through braking of the opposite wheel. And it is not true that you can't turn it off without coding. Turning DSC off doesn't turn off traction control for open diff, but holding DSC button for couple of sec you turn off DTC (dynamic TRACTION control) and your open diff is 100% open.
I've seen from multiple N54 forum postings that in dire situations the electronic nannies will still kick in, even if you hold the DTC button for 3 secs to "turn it all the way off". So, coding it out seems like a perfectly fine way to save the time of pressing the button as well as ensure that the system doesn't turn back on when you don't want it to. To be real here, anyone going this far down the rabbit hole is doing it for a reason.

An open differential modulated by a computer using ABS hardware is in no way either an Electronic LSD nor is it even a fake imitation LSD. This is admitted openly by the poster when he speaks of over heating rear brakes and the cars traction control programming to prevent such a condition by even reducing engine power if either brake disc temperature approaches a predetermined limit. In a true mechanical, even one with electronically controlled clutch plates, there is no loss of power in transferring power to which ever rear axle that has traction beyond slight frictional losses. When braking occurs in any differential, power is converted to heat, a lot of it. A LSD will only over heat at the track if required to redistribute high levels of power frequently over a long period of time. Clutch type LSD will generate the most heat, but this is easily over come in extreme cases by cooling the lubricating fluid with a pump through a radiator. So the next time someone starts talking about an open differential governed by a computer controlling the ABS pumps as an "E-diff," know that it is patently untrue. Same for a "simulated LSD;" there is no such thing. Excellent coding tutorial, per usual.
