What diff is in 1990 325i? I know it's not a lsd, just need the ratio.

As you say you know it's not an LSD, I assume the car's not a Sport. In which case it should have a 3.73 in (unless it's a Touring - they had 3.91).

Thanks for the replies. Not a Sport but a 325i SE. Might be changing diff to LSD and I don't want a lower ratio, the fuel consumption is bad enough already. A Zone chip is also on the cards.

Try to get hold of a 3.64 LSD from an early Sport in that case.

Good luck.

Was going to bid for the 3.73 LSD on E-Bay as the seller was just 30 miles from where I live, but didn't pay attention to when it was ending. I'm a numpty. Someone got it for Ԛ£126.
