Unfortunately for you the M240i crowd is driving a lot of the dollars as far as performance modifications, so I suspect you're not going to find many options. Might have better luck retrofitting the OEM one, but if it's possible at all it won't be cheap.

Wanted it for slightly better daily driving dynamics, but truth is that the stock e-diff is likely 95% of the performance value of the locking diff, and why I bought one without it. Hence why the title of the thread is "aftermarket differentials". Ya still can't drift for shit without a mechanical limited slip diff, which means ya can't drift for shit in an M240i. It's why the new M2 will come with an actual limited slip diff installed - you/I might be able to upgrade to that soon enough, once the part is offered separately as it was for the F22.
Am new to new car ownership (have always bought used/CPO and tuned) so am not used to being unable to find aftermarket options. In 5-10 years people will be swapping out the "M Performance Differential" for either a proper M-Sport Limited Slip offering like they did in the last generation, or for Wavetracs/etc. |
The M2 should have the active M differential, which I am guessing is not retrofit friendly at all. The pressure on the clutch pack is electronically controlled, so it needs wiring and a module and communication with other modules.
Can you share with me what source of information you have on the m240i LSD? I have not seen any real details on what type of LSD it is. You called it an e-diff, are you saying it's one of those BS systems that uses brake pressure at the loose corner to force power across an otherwise mechanical open differential? Like they do for off-road trucks. I would have thought it uses a clutch type or torsion rear LSD.
