Quaife BMW – The Ultimate BMW Performance Solution.</font Quaife BMW is the name of a global distribution network designed to supply the best performing limited slip differentials for all BMW models worldwide. Manufactured by RT Quaife Engineering in the U.K, the patented Quaife ATB Limited Slip Differential is unique in design and offers the biggest improvement in acceleration, traction, handling and cornering speeds for BMWs. The design enables a smooth and progressive transfer of torque between the rear wheels, applying power to the tarmac with maximum effect, and with no interruption or negative effects on BMW traction or stability electronics. After years of extensive research into BMW applications by Birds, Quaife BMW have the knowledge and technical data required to offer this technical product for all BMW models worldwide. The problem with BMWs... The lack of a Limited Slip Differential has been a big talking point for BMW enthusiasts over recent years. After the E36 3 series, BMW stopped offering limited slip diffs on standard models, and instead only installed them on their M Power range. Today, BMWs come with an “open” differential. The problem with this type of differential is that when a wheel slips, it can only put through the amount of torque it takes to power that spinning wheel, i.e. very little. Both wheels lose nearly all power, and no amount of horse power would make a difference. Aside from obvious weather conditions, scenarios where this can frequently occur are cornering at speeds, accelerating from a stand-still, and accelerating in high powered vehicles. This inability to put power to the ground, in what is effectively a one-wheel drive car, has sparked huge interest from BMW owners around the world. No longer is it ‘The Ultimate Driving Machine’. On modern BMWs, when you lose traction you will notice a little yellow light flashing up on your dashboard. All of the latest BMWs come equipped with various electronic systems designed for stability and safety purposes. The DSC (Dynamic Stability Control), for example, applies wheel braking via the engine management system when it detects a loss of traction or stability. As a consequence BMWs with more power, such as the 335i and 135i (or upgraded BMWs), suffer even more from this interference since these systems will cut engine power in an attempt to restore traction. So, the modern BMW has become seriously hampered as a performance car. Now there is a realistic solution. For those of us who believe the true ‘joy’ of driving is still an important factor, a Quaife BMW ATB Limited Slip Differential is absolutely essential. How can a Quaife ATB Limited Slip Differential solve the problem? A Quaife ATB Limited Slip Differential essentially controls torque between the driving wheels. So when it detects a slipping wheel, it can transfer torque to the wheel with good grip, vastly improving the vehicle’s traction and ability to put power to the ground. There are various alternative types of Limited Slip Differential that carry out this job in different manners. For road and track use, the innovative geared differential is the best option for BMWs.
