Oh no, this is really bad news…
I had this differential in my list for a while.
It is not easy to find such a reliable alternative for our W215.
If anyone resells their own, I am also very interested!
Thanks for the info anyway, it saves searching for nothing.

So how is this bad news? I think it’s great news that we’re all getting these Quaife differentials… and lucky for you if you contact Birds Auto I’m sure they’ll be happy to sell one to you as they put in an order for five additional beyond the five to us forum members…

Hello folks,
I made an acct. just to reply to this thread. Did everyone follow through with this? Would love to know the verdict. I would likely have it shipped to Canada to avoid tariffs and such. This car has so much more to give with an LSD.
Thanks!
