i know that to check if your car has lsd, jack one side at the back up and handbrake off and also out of gear, if wheel fully spins you havent got lsd i think? I had a e28 528 that would smoke at the rear wheels big time. ive had two e30's since the e28 they dont have lsd.
does adding an lsd mean complete rear diff? i think it is but not too sure

What is this welded diff with 100% lock up mean? is it no good for daily driving?

E30 325i sports have a 25% lock up what does this mean?

So what would be a sought after lsd that will easily fit on an e30? as i been reading and there are lots of different ratios. does these mean faster acceleration? does the more the percentage the lock up the more the rear wheels will spin?
cheers

For most of your answers ... go to the search function ... type LSD and look under tech help.
