how important is an lsd for daily driving?

Have you driven a LSD car?

non LSD feels like you are driving on ice grip wise.

You literally have double the grip because both wheels drive the car instead of just one at a time allowing you to hoon better

>Clueless
Thanks for living up to the stereotype

Ive got one in my ranger and it makes it a lot more fun. Also had one in my m3, i couldnt imagine driving around without one.

Dont know how different it would be in a fwd but should be similiar in any case. Youre bmw is rwd though so you should get one

Christ did that car really not come with an LSD? Even my shitstang came with one from the factory.

>Tfw diff fluid is so old in my shitbox that it's viscous enough to be a lsd

A badly installed LSD will give you valve knocking.

Doesn't it make winter driving more difficult?

Yeah that's my question. I know that I'll have to be more careful with throttle modulation to avoid breaking the rear tires loose. but from my understanding the lsd will help with getting unstuck in snow. I'm just wondering if it's worth putting the money down.

I've driven cars with an lsd before, but it was on local dry roads. I couldn't feel much of a difference.

That's not at all how it works.

With an open diff, you just lose traction and spin one tire. The other tire is still in contact with the road and will stabilize your car.
With an LSD, both tires will spin, and the ass end will float around on the ice since neither has traction.

Ice is completely different than mud/off road.

Snow tires will do more in winter than an LSD.

I meant under hard acceleration, deceleration and cornering with the driving wheels.

didnt articulate it very well.

LSD is way better than open in the snow dude. It makes climbing hills way way easier and gives you more control over the attitude of the car.

Spinning one tire is not a good thing, when one tire breaks loose, all of your torque goes to the spinning wheel and none of it goes to the ground. Not to mention you're burning up your spider gears.

Also if you can't control a little power oversteer in the snow, you're a pussy and you don't know how to drive.

t. someone who has actually driven in the snow with both an open and an LSD

Post cars that have LSD standard for all trims.

Taking lsd is bad while driving

Short answer: it's not important for a DD

Anyone have experience with phantom grip? Was considering them but I'd like to know if it's worth the cash or if I should just put my money towards a quaife
