thats wot i've been looking into,but it seems everybodys after one and there not cheap, but quite a lot of people have said that an lsd is an essential mod on an e30!

Is there much difference in performance compared to an open diff, i know theres more control as it stops you from spinning out but doesnt that restrict you from pulling away quicker??

I don't think so - my 325 seems to be quicker with the lsd.

Plus I can do 2 wheel donuts :cool:

Nice e30....I remember the 1st time I saw e36 m3's on a e30, it looked strange, and needed a second glance to realise what they were....they look at home on them now though...!!!

I have to say , your car looks good..!!! :thumb: :bmw:

Nice looking car. As already said get yourself an LSD, makes the world of difference when on the raggedy edge. Also, and this is not meant to offend, but please lose the tacky Halfords badge on the back. There are plenty of proper ///M badges available. Just my tuppence worth. winkeye

i've had the car a month,the car came as u see it now, its a work in progress,but i can appreciate your views, the bonnet has been de-badged i was gonna take the boot badge of anyway, completely de-badge it, has people guessing at the traffic lights whether too or not!!!

Just had another look, I hadn't noticed the bonnet badge was missing. Nice mod! What have you got planned for her? Anything exciting?

That was a short term of ownership?

Why the sudden change?

after only owning it for a couple of days the missus was moaning that it was too awkwud getting the kids in and out of it,and its been off the road this week she's been on at me to get a four door and it makes sense now.If i had a bigger drive i'd keep it(weekend toy) just needs the link fixing and she'll drive away

That fair enough i guess mate. Its a shame tho, it loos like a good one!

What are you thinking for your 4 door?

want a 325i would consider a 320 black if possible leathers would be a bonus,as for lsd an stuff not too bothered for now it would end up with one one day so makes no difference really, i'm not happy having to sell it but it makes sense long term to opt for the 4 door! Any one out there got a tidy 4 door?
