E30 325i touring

I own a 325i touring and was wondering if the gearbox is different to that of a 325i sport or is it the same.

Also what LSD ratio is best for a 1989 325i touring?

Thanks

Re: things to look for when buying your first E30

Biggest thing to look out for is RUST. Look everywhere, get the car up on a ramp, take the carpets out of the boot, check the scuttle,rear arches etc

I,m currently using the H and R Cup Kit 60/40 drop on my sport which i purchased brand new. Its been on the car about 3000 miles and must say its a great bit of kit. Car handles really well around corners and looks spot on. The car I find is too low for driving over spped bumps. I really have to slo...

Just a quick question, who makes the exhaust for BMW? I'd imagine dealer prices would be pretty high.

viscous coupling

Is the fan viscous coupling the same item for cars with air con and cars without. It might sound a silly question but I need to know before I order the part. The car in question is a 325i sport with air con.

Re: lowering a 325i sport

Are you serious... is the eibach bilstein setup you mentioned still provide a comfortable drive... I find the standard set up most comfortable... The 60 40 set up I'm currently using is annoying when driving on the roads around where I live. It looks good I guess but I think I'm getting too old for ...

Re: 325i sport problems

I poke a rolled up newspaper into the fan and it stopped spinning so I guess the viscouse coupling needs replacing. Just to add my car has aircon and I understand a different radiator would this make any difference or is it still the same problem?
