    nope. $800 is a deal.

    the 2008-2011 335's have welded ring gears, and as such need machining in order to bolt to a LSD carrier. the result is about a ~$2500 price tag. so, yeah - $800? cheap.

    Looks like e46 ZHP rear diffs go for 175-250 on eBay. I wish that $800 included the donor diff

    Yeah, definitely cheap, even at half that price. I think the Diffsonline diff I have in my ZHP cost about $2500+ when it was new...
    I'm glad I didn't have to buy it new at full price.

    Really it just depends what you’re wanting out of it. Tracking? Backroad twisties? Do you like your current final drive ratio?

    So I've got a 6-speed zhp. I don't plan on tracking the car but i wouldn't rule it out in the future. I do want to own it for a long time and that means having something that will get through winters. I really can't complain about the final drive. I wouldn't really know how i'd want to improve upon it. I always thought 1-4 were great, I don't need 5th, and 6th is great lol.

    So i guess what I'm looking for would be winter driving improvements, maybe something that might get used on a track and maybe improved gas mileage? What are some of the other things that people look to get out of an LSD?

    If you care about gas mileage, I would stick with the 3.07, or maybe bump to a 3.23 for a minor performance bump without losing much (if any) mpg's. Just being an LSD will help with everything else you're looking for.
