i am thinking of gear differentials that provide torque biasing. there are actually no gear "lsd" units.

wavetrac is a gear differential that additionally provides some preload and corresponding a little biasing on coast. i discussed that with dana clark (you should know who he is if you are into wavetrac) in detail. so i dont think i need to do more research on that one!

as i said, these units are quite ok. if you think it is the right one for you and it has enough biasing capacity on coast, get it!

i generally don't like gear type units that much because they are not able to lock up the axle at all. it is no locking but a biasing differential. it feels pretty different. so speaking of "lock" concerning a wavetrac is wrong. just do some research on that or ask dana directly ;-)

a 335i also feels different from a M3. two worlds...
