Can some one tell me what ratio diff a 99(T reg) 318ti sport compact will be running from factory ?

According to Realoem, 3.38:1 if its manual, 4.44:1 for an auto.

Thank you for the quick response
The one I have Is from an auto

Don't suppose you know what it's worth or weather it's desirable in certain circles ie people who like to drift ?

I think they are the small case diffs (as found on the small engined E30s) so wouldn't of thought it would be worth much, unless its an LSD...

Thanks for the help buddy, pretty sure it's not an LSD although I will check
