Wavetrac Torque Biasing Differential BMW 135i (E8X) / 335i (E9X) 215K Axle R=3.08+

Wavetrac Torque Biasing Differential - BMW 135i (E8X) / 335i (E9X) - 215K Axle R=3.08+

Designed from the ground up using modern gear technology, the Wavetrac Differential sets itself apart from conventional helical limited slip units with one key innovation — patented cam technology that maintains drive to the gripping wheel even during zero axle load conditions. Where a standard torque biasing differential behaves like an open diff when a wheel lifts or loses traction, the Wavetrac's internal cam device generates load to keep power going where it counts. Built in the USA by Autotech Driveline, every unit is assembled with ARP fasteners and machined from case-hardened steel billet, with internal gears in high strength 9310 alloy steel.

This listing covers the Wavetrac differential for the BMW 215K axle with welded ring gear, suited to the E9X 335i and E8X 135i with a final drive ratio of R=3.08 and above. Note that all welded OEM gear assemblies require machining work prior to installation. An Installation Kit is sold separately and is required to complete the fitment.

Important: This application uses a welded OEM ring gear assembly. Machining work is required before installation. Do not attempt fitment without the appropriate Installation Kit — sold separately. Please confirm your axle ratio before ordering.
