Re:

Does the 325 or 318is have a lsd as standard?

is a 318is timing chain or belt?

sorry to sound a bit simple. just havent had much experience with e30s other than my old 320.

insurance between them doesnt seem as much as i thought it would.

instument cluster bulb out

this might sound a bit stupid but how do you change the bulb behind the speedo, the previous owner stuck a blue led thing above it which looks nasty. also the shroud is broken where he put the light so is this easy enough to change at the same time
