BMW Type L 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
  • 3 series: E90, E91, E92, E93
  • 5 series: E60, E61
  • 6 series: E63, E64
  • X5 series: E70

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.
