MattA 162 Report post Posted April 28, 2004 Am on the lookout for an E30 LSD not holding my breath as I know they are getting hard to find. Ratio of 4.10:1 would be nice. Have upgraded my 320 to a 325 goes like stink but a bit hard to get the back end to behave.. Cheers Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gus 5 Report post Posted April 28, 2004 so true......can easily name 10+ e30 owners on this board alone wanting (almost needing) an lsd. try moving your battery to the boot...gives a little more weight back there so its not so snappy....you must be loving the difference!
