It, like the AMG ones are true LSDs. They just aren't Quaifes. The standard LSDs have a lock point. The E55 030 package is 30%, the E63 package is 40%, and I dunno what the Kleeman is. The difference is that the Quaife is a unique design in that it can theorhetically go from 0 - 100%. Makes it much more precise. The car will stick harder, but also let go at higher speeds.

Kleemann is 60% lockup.

I'd be interested in getting one a little ways down the road. I'll look up this thread and definitly contact you. btw...do you know the difference between the 03-04 rear ends, and the 05+. I've been told the 05+ are beefier units with, but never told how they're made stronger.
