hello lads,

just got myself an e21! its a 316 auto but thats soon to change. iv got plans to put a m20 lump in it but i really want an LSD, does the e30 LSD fit? if not where can i get hold of an e21 LSD?

also, can i use the e30 pedal box, brake setup etc?

cheers guys

Hi

The only e30 bits are the engine that will swap, also an e21 lsd is about £350 if you can find one

try bmwe21.net

If I was you, try to spend some time on eBay.de beecause you will find a lot of nice parts for E21! I do think you can get an Alpina diff with LSD
