far4ngn 14 Report post Posted July 7, 2008 Guys Just looking at the LSD out of the e30 318is and it's labelled at 3.64, searching the internet suggestes that this has been replaced from the 4.10...but I thought the latter was only from an E30 M3? Do I get it fixed or go searching for a 4.10...the info below sounds as if a 3.64 is better anyway. From the M42club.com: If anything it makes it that much more fun to drive because you can beat on it for longer in first and second gear without having to shift all the time. You won't notice a drop in acceleration but you will be able to run second gear all the way to 63mph vs 55mph with 4.1. Driving on the freeway is much easier on the ears and you pick up a couple of MPGs. I'm keeping my eye out for a 3.64 lsd now. I think BMW intentionally hampered the car from the factory with the 4.1 in order to differentiate it more from the 6 cyl and justify the price difference.
