Some of them are limited slip, but some aren't. You're going to have to check, by looking at the tag on the differential cover (marked by S and the ratio), or spinning the wheels. Spin in same direction = limited slip.

all i see are 528i but i am looking for 528e .... good info by the way, thanks

[FredK]

In the US some 528es came with a S3.46 diff.

528eS? Never heard of that.

[FredK]

es, as in plural. More than one 528e.

No need for an apostrophe because it is neither possessive or a contraction.

Maybe not possessive or contraction, but confusing and possibly misleading :)

Yes, I thought that! But I was too lazy to fix up the sentence so I could avoid the plural of 528e. :mrgreen:

well... the only thing I now is that i found a 528e that the owner is willing to sell me his diff for 150 ... actualy a friend of mine found it ... anyway, he forgot to ask what year the 528e was ... I am currently looking for a 3.25 lsd, asnd i know that 535i came with a 3.25lsd, the question is what kind of diff does the 528e has???? and no my frind did not check what kind was ... he is leasy bumb ... the car is in my home town but i am not in my home town, i am working

Check the case number, if it is 1210411 it is the same size as the E30. Number is cast into the case just below the top on passenger side. Can be seen just be looking up there with a light.
