Hi ppl,

if anyone knows what i could possibly be do with my 4 door 325i. I'm looking for a fat kit.
its black with some rare 7J x 15" alpina wheels running 205/50 V15's, it needs lowering and an lsd but that all has to wait at this moment in time.

my missus is about to burst open with a little sprog so my money has been going elsewhere at the moment. a friend said u may be able to weld the diff up would this be any good and act the same as an lsd?

look forward to any replies and any info would be very much appreciated.

thanks Tully

If you weld up a diff, it'll be 100% lock, whereas e30 diffs are 25% lock if I'm not mistaken. So it could be dangerous to drive, but it'd be great to drift with!

You can get the M-Tech II (Sport bodykit) for 4 door cars, but they are pretty rare. Keep your eyes open on eBay and here for them and you might get lucky!

LSD's turn up now and again, between 200-250 pounds normally.

ive found sourcing parts from breakers is alot cheaper, most of the time they dont know what they're selling and practicly give rare parts away, eg i got a pair of fog lights with all parts to fit for a tenner, ive seen them go for Ԛ£50-60 on ebay and theres a few more pairs in the yard, and bits of trim i got for one or two quid.
if you come across a bodykit say "how much for the door trims?" mention bodykit and the price will treble!
