Don't the Acura RL, Mitsubishi Evo, and the Nissan GT-R all do something like this? Honda claims the RL can transfer 100 percent of its rear torque to the outside wheel. --Andre ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2007 20:58:31 -0500 From: "Gary Derian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Andre Yew" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[email protected]> Subject: Re: <WTB> E46 323 or 328 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The RL has no rear diff, just a clutch pack to each axle. That works but no axle can overspeed the ring gear. BMW has shown similar stuff, but I don't think its in production, yet. With an open diff, one axle can overspeed when the other is braked. Whether or no that is critical to control issues is another story.

The Wikipedia entry on SH-AWD claims that the RL has an acceleration device to do overspeed up to 5 percent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SH-AWD I don't know what the implications are for stability control. --Andre ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2007 11:38:57 -0600 From: "Alex Cagann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'UUC Digest'" <[email protected]> Subject: <OT> Benz SL engine question Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sorry for the non-BMW topic but I assume many on this list own or have owned MB's. I am purchasing a 97 500SL and the engine is ticking on the top. The local tech says that this engine is notorious for a problem with the plastic oil feed lines for the cam/valves. I guess they crush or something or other over time. I was wondering if this is something anyone has done. It seems to be a simple surgery..remove the valve covers and replace the lines. Just looking for someone who has BTDT...and has advice on whether I should attempt this or have it done by a professional.
