Does this do the trick for keeping fluids cooler if you are going to be auto-x or track driving.

Careful if you're planning to use for auto-x. E30s are really only competitive in stock, STS/STX, or DSP. Use of the M-cover is illegal for each of these classes (and totally unnecessary).

i have one on my e30 with a diff temp gauge and on a hot day on the track it sees 250+. i dont think it does shit myself but it looks cool from the back

The plate type LSD in our cars has no use for that. The MZ3s do have use for it- the Torsen diffs in those cars make a lot more heat.

Old post revival, but you're incorrect. The Z3 M cars are have clutch pack LSDs with the finned cover, and the non-M came with torsen diffs, which look like a standard open diff. I should know, I have one that I'm installing on my e30.

The torsen generates less heat, because it doesn't use friction plates to move torque around.

Z3M had Torsen's as well I have the pdf release that shows it for the M. It wasn't an all years thing it was for 2 years.

Good to know. If it came with the finned diff cover as well, it was probably just for looks.
