yep that should go on

will need to swap aluminium backplate, and maybe drive cups, for e30 parts.

e28 535i/m535i diffs won't go on an e30 but the rest should.

you sure it's an LSD though?

havent seen it yet to tell the trueth, but i am not getting it from any store but from a friend eho is modificating his 518 to M5 (e34). Still, what should be typed on the unit?

tha backplate and drive cups you talked about, must i buy them or swap them from the diff my e30 now has?

Your mate is modificating his E28...? Is he altering the colourification of it while he's changing the mechanicalisation of it at the same time...? :lol:

It was a 528iS.

It lives quite local to me but i haven't managed to "bump" (in a good way) into the owner yet. It looks even better in the metal ... proper :twisted:

I've seen it several times in my local ASDA, keep nipping in to see if he's about to chat to but no luck yet.

Very nice looking motor :drool:
