Wavetrac BMW F87 M2 ATB LSD Fully Built Differential – pre-assembled exchange axle for maximum traction, grip and reliability
Transform the way your BMW F87 M2 puts power down with the Wavetrac ATB Limited Slip Differential. This fully built, pre-assembled exchange axle replaces the factory electronic E-LSD and welded ring gear assembly with a proven, performance-focused upgrade. Expect sharper corner exit, improved stability, consistent traction in all conditions and long-term durability. This is the smart M2 differential upgrade for fast road, track day and drift use.
Wavetrac is one of the most advanced ATB limited slip differentials on the market. Its patent-protected design delivers responsive torque biasing and dependable performance without the maintenance needs of clutch plate diffs. The F87 M2 leaves the factory with a friction welded ring gear and an electronically locking plate differential, which complicates installation if you start from scratch. Our pre-built exchange axle solves that headache. The ring gear is precisely machined, backlash is set to OE tolerances and the assembly includes a blanking plate for the E-LSD motor so you can bolt in confidence and drive.
We run Wavetrac LSDs on our own builds and customer cars, and the feedback is consistently excellent. If you want a BMW M2 LSD upgrade that feels OEM-plus on the road and robust on track, this is the differential to choose.
