Bit of a longshot but does anyone know what diff ratio a Greg 4dr mtech2 manual will have? And will it be an lsd ?

4dr sport, eh? Very rare care there! Ratio could be anywhere between 3.64 and 3.91, and could be LSD or not, depending on what the original purchaser specified (and whatever bits have been changed since.)

Just ignore them. You wrongly called it a sport because it's got an m tech kit on. Sports were only ever 2 doors and are a spec level. Hope that helps

Facelift 325 should have a 3.91 diff. You might be lucky and it may have a LSD which will help ease the pain of having to kill a four door

Real oem will not tell you what ratio diff was from new, only the choice of ratios for 325i's.
BMW's dealer ETK will do though.
