It was a fairly cheap option on any E30, but sadly, the type of person who bought them new 'back in the day', generally wouldn't have known a LSD fro their left elbow.
The only UK models that left the factory with one as standard were the M3 and the 325 sport.

I have had some very well optioned/morsel laden IS's.. sadly none have had the LSD box ticked 

An LSD was only a £100 option on the supercharged MINI cooper S, but I bet only a handfull of people ordered them.Brianmoooore wrote:It was a fairly cheap option on any E30, but sadly, the type of person who bought them new 'back in the day', generally wouldn't have known a LSD fro their left elbow.

Sadly image and bragging rights are considerably higher up the list when choosing a new car than driving dynamics.
