About this part

Product Details

Cusco is well-known for their performance drivetrain components, and this Hybrid LSD is a prime example of their expertise. This limited-slip differential is designed to give your 1991-1993 or 2000-2003 BMW M5 improved traction and handling, especially when you're pushing the car hard. It's a smart upgrade for anyone looking to get more out of their M5's performance capabilities.

This isn't just a standard clutch-type LSD; it's a hybrid design that aims to offer the best of both worlds. It uses a combination of clutch plates and gear mechanisms to provide smooth engagement during normal driving, reducing the chatter you might get from a purely mechanical LSD. However, when you accelerate or corner, the internal components work together to lock the differential, sending more power to the wheel with better grip. This means less wheelspin and more predictable power delivery, whether you're navigating tight turns or accelerating out of them. The construction is solid, built to handle the stresses of spirited driving and track use.

When installing a limited-slip differential, it's important to use the correct differential fluid recommended by Cusco to ensure proper operation and longevity. This unit is designed as a direct replacement for your factory differential, making the swap more straightforward. If you're looking to enhance your M5's performance and feel more connected to the road, this Cusco Hybrid LSD is a well-built option that can make a notable difference in how your car handles.
