1987 325E 5 sp. w/LSD What ratio is common?

[kayak]

My 5 speed 1987 325E has an LSD. Does anyone know if all 87 5sp. 325E had the 2:93 ratio LSD or are there other LSD ratio possibilities for this year? LSD is on plywood under the car presently- have not yet tried to clean the metal tab with numbers of the serious rust as of yet. Will pull it out soon but I do have a lot of rust on the ID metal tab.

Theres alot better change its not an LSD and just an open diff. Check it out.

all Es have 2.93 or 2.73 . scrape off tab and you will know.

how much scraping? i went to town on the tag and still couldnt see anything?

[MR 325]

An 87 will definitely have the 2.93 ratio diff. LSD was optional but standard on the 325eS.

My 325e had a 3.15 open diff in it. If you wanna know of its an LSD or not just jack up the rear end, spin one wheel and if the other spins on the same direction then you have an LSD.

They must have had different options in Aus. We got no 3.15 diffs here.
