The 3.91 LSD is pretty common. You should be able to get one. I would hold out a while longer.
The next option would be a 3.73 but they are rare. A 4.10 would not suit 325.

I'm looking for an LSD for my 318iS. Can somone point me to any articles concerning the various ratios?
Ideally I want the small case unit that was fitted to the 318iS, and I'm considering sourcing one from the USA.
From a bit of searching, looks like the iS had 3.91 or 4.1.
What was in the 325 sport and the M3?

The 4.10 is best suited to the IS.tomstickland wrote:I'm looking for an LSD for my 318iS. Can somone point me to any articles concerning the various ratios?

The Sport had either a 3.64 or 3.73
I'm not sure about the M3 3.25 maybe

Thanks.
I just found this article, which is quite useful http://www.esatclear.ie/~bpurcell/318ismods.html

For the 318is, I would stick to 4.10 for a stock setup, although the 3.91 will not effect it too much - but the 3.91 ratio is ideal if the engine has been modified. Usual sources are the US E30 M3 (4.10), the European 325i Sport (3.91) or any 318i/is fitted with a LSD.

I bought a 3:64 from Jonb for £250. Had it over a year on the track girl and sweet as, made a real difference to the sideways moments
