Yes the rear suspension is the "same" as an E30 but all the 2.8's also had ASC+T as well as the LSD. That and a convertible will naturally have more chassis flex than a hard top car. The MZ3 used a clutch type LSD rather than a torsen style one. I have just been researching this as I want to change the oil in my diff and you need the right kind depending on the diff type. I have found that early Z3s had clutch diffs ands sometime in mid-late 99 they changed to torsen. This seems like reliable information to me, people saying the only way to tell what you have is to take the back off and look, but that the early ones definitely came with clutch diffs. What do you say to this? What is your statement based on? Also, IMHO the ABS can take care of locked wheels...I'd rather have a torsen, it doesn't wear out.
