sorry but so many stories i have 325i not sport


do i have a lsd or what? cheers

Its a possibility

as n could have been fitted?

how can i tell?

who know? it was an option when new so it could be. check out the code on a tag on the diff cover plate. if it starts with S then some numbers iits an lsd. for instance mine is S391 for an 3.91 ratio lsd.

Jack up the back end, let the handbrake off, rotate one of the wheels, see which way the other one turns, same direction=lsd, opposite direction=open diff

wow thats a smart way il try both :D

cheers guys

If you are in neutral and just jack up one, handbrake off, it will be very difficult to turn by hand (as it is linked to the wheel on the ground via the lsd.

more fun way is to drop the clutch with lots of revs and see if it leaves 2 black marks!

Slight flaw though, is that open diffs leave a nice number 11 if you give it enough enthusiasm

Still a fun test, where did that localised fog come from
