You're married and she's thinking about kids before 30? Cripes, i'm suprised you're allowed that car at all! (Cunning plan, making it a 4dr, then you won't have to get rid of it!) I'm desperately trying to follow my father's advice of not falling in love before 30. Edited May 3, 2004 by CiLK WuRM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 Thanks for all the good advise guys. Sam: 5lug BBS's, forgot the dam camera, all I can say is 245/40's make the back of an E30 look very narrow!! Napier: If only a LSD was as easy to find as a set of 17" BBS wheels!! But yes, I have to do something in that dept!!! Gus: Rest assured, there will be some nudity this evening!!! (not just me I hope) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aliluya 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 Happy Birthday man .... don't personally know you but wishing you all the best .. BTW does the E46 2004+ have LSD's ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 Thanks aliluya. probably not. BMW have seemed to go for the DSC+T setup which requires a Open Diff or a Torsen LSD. DSC+T works by applying the brakes to the wheel that is spinning, this doesn't work with a conventional LSD because it is defeating the purpose of it (to keep both wheels at a similar speed) A Torsen LSD works on Torque multiplication, ie. one wheel spins with Z amount of torque so it applies 3xZ to the opposite wheel, so if you never break traction (by the system appling brakes to that wheel) the LSD function doesn't come into it, thus Torsen LSD's are compatable with the DSC+T system. I think it would be an optional extra if anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 I meant a LSD would be an optional extra not the DSC+T + ABS + "you don't need to know how to drive" features. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
