Pre Face W212 E63 Question

Question. A Preface 2012-2013 E63. One with factory limited slip and one without. Does the one with limited slip produces more, less, same HP/TQ or simply put faster than the one without simply because it is a optional item? What is the difference? Many thanks for your knowledge.

I don't think the limited slip differential will create more or less drive train loss than the non-LSD; they should be about the same. The LSD just balances the power to stabilize cornering and reduce traction loss.

It will also put the power down better off the line. Without it, you are really 1 wheel drive.

Many thanks for your input. Glad my E63 came with the option.

Just an FYI,

You can upgrade a non LSD for about $1800 total.

Eurocharged Performance, for one, offers a pretty nice unit and they quoted 6 to 7 hours installation for your mechanic.
