BMW Type L / LW Differential Repair Kit (Post-2006 Models)

Addressing Modern Challenges: BMW transitioned to Type L differentials after 2006, incorporating ball bearings for reduced friction. While this design reduced friction, the durability of ball bearings was compromised, leading to frequent whining noises. Our comprehensive kit offers a reliable solution to address the noisy differential issue found in many post-2006 BMW models.

Applicability: This kit is designed for L type differentials present in the following BMW models:

• 1 series: E81, E82, E87, E88, F20, F21
• 2 series: F22, F23

How to tell if your differential needs bearings replacement?

Symptoms of a Failing Differential: Notice a characteristic whine during acceleration or coasting? You might be dealing with a differential issue. Here's a quick test: simulate a tire warm-up by steering left and right during a drive. If the noise varies in intensity, you're likely hearing a wheel bearing. If it remains consistent, your differential bearings may require replacement.
