e30 LSD question

i thought my 316i had an LSD with the way it drove(ie) i have never driven any open diff rear wheel drive car with so little power get the rear end out so easily under power.Also lit up the rears on a fairly slippy surface and both the rears spun equally a long way.then went under the car to check for the S mark on the diff casing...it was not there.So...quite confused.

If this is the way e30's behave with an open diff ans so little power...i can imagine how much fun they would be with an M30B35 and an LSD.

Sounds like you have an lsd or could have welded one fitted.
How is it to park?
