any issue swapping LSD into regular manual car
Perhaps a dumb question (i'm new to mini's and this site). i'm parting out 06 JCW car with a limited slip trans and would like to swap into my other 06 (regular S) car and would like to know if i'll have any issue with traction control lights / warnings. my guess is that it's a plug and play. also: does anyone have the part numbers for both LSD & open trans/dif. thank you. jake

why will he?
just swap it,
I have completely different ratios and the only thing it affects are the ByteTroniK logs where the gear number is displayed in the log, now it gets confused,
you will have no warnings whatsoever!
there are no BMW part numbers for the diffs as they weren't available any other way than a full box.
I'd fit a Quaife or better still an MFactory ATB in there, the stock one does work but it only a 25% locker and doesn't do quite so much to reduce torque steer where the others mostly resolve it
sell your LSD box to help fund it perhaps

There will be no problem switching them, but adding that will only gain you a 25% limited slip. I would just add a better one though! I have had easy wheel
question: Are you parting it out due to blown engine? or damaged car?
If the engine is good, I would swap both and have the computer tuned to the higher powered engine! 210 hp! (stock on JCW)
Will you be offering parts off of the old one?
