LSD for 320i

Hello
Did bmw make a LSD for the 320i or is it just a case of finding a 325i lsd and strapping it on.

If i fitted a 325i LSD would I feel the difference under normal driving conditions.
Thanks,
Codhead. :?

Wrong Engine,Maybe!!

Hello, It appears my 320i cab has had a new engine sometime in its life and is not the same as the number on the log book. I would like to know whether it is the correct size engine and not perhaps a 325i with the 320i parts strapped to it(as the car does not run very well). I have spoke to BMW and ...

Re: Fuel consumption

It works out at 19miles to the gallon which I think is a bit low my m8s 330 cab does an average of 26 miles per gallon and most of those miles are around town.

Fuel consumption

I have a 1991 e30 316i and i get about 100miles from £20 worth of fuel. What things can i do to improve fuel consumption, if any, or is it just because of the age of the car. My E36 318 is brilliant on fuel and I thought that my E30 would be just as good.
