AC Schnitzer Rear Differential Upgrade for BMW 2 Series F22 F23 RWD - Part No. 331010320

Unlock serious traction and corner exit pace on your rear wheel drive BMW 2 Series with the AC Schnitzer plated rear diff. This premium German-engineered unit replaces the stock open final drive with a proper clutch pack locking mechanism, giving you the drive out of bends that the 2 Series chassis deserves. We have installed this upgrade for many customers and the feedback has been consistently excellent, with noticeably stronger grip in the wet, calmer power delivery on bumpy roads and far less inside wheel spin when you get on the throttle early.

If you are shopping for a BMW F22 or F23 rear axle upgrade, a performance final drive for M235i or M240i, or a traction-focused solution for 228i, 230i or 225d, this AC Schnitzer unit is a proven choice. It delivers fast-road confidence and track day consistency without compromising everyday usability.
