What cars did the 3.46 LSD come in?

[Lof8]

e28s was it? Do they need modification to mount in an e30? My S50 swap car is currently running a 3.73 LSD. I don't like the high rpms at highway speeds, I have to do a lot of quick 3-4-3 shifts at Sebring, and I'm on the rev limiter a lot at autoxes. So, I'm hunting for a 3.46. Help me find one.
Thanks

Some E28s came with the 3.46.

They require no modification, except to swap your E30 rear cover and output flange to the diff. The output flanges are easy to remove and reinstall. Use a prybar to pull it out, then push the E30 output flange back in until it clicks.

Some e24 635's did as well.

IIRC they came in some late E28 528e (1988/Super ETA only) and late E23 735i's (85-87). As Greg said also the E24s, but I think it was just the '88-89 Automatics.

Duh forgot E23's that is where mine came from.

What trans you have in there?

Same issue here, 1st gear is practically useless. Im hitting 5k RPM's at 90mph on 5th gear, haha...but boy that engines sounds so nice! I got a 3.46 lsd sitting at home that will probably get installed soon.

I'm using the G260

Let me know if you decide against installing it.;)

3.25 lsd isn't bad and is more common than a 3.46.

Hmm, have you used a 3.25 in a swapped car with a G260? Whats the cruising rpm at about 80mph?

Edit: Nevermind, some seraching leads me to believe that a 3.25 will work well for me.

What rear end do you have?

[M-technik-3]

Behind a 0.81 getrag 260 It might not be the best combo but 5th gear cruising will be great on fuel.

I have an S50 sitting that is go in front of a 260, and I have a 3.46 sitting.

I expect to have news about it this year...

E28 535is AUTO-TRAGICS are also blessed with 3.46 slips. My schnitzer 3.7L M30 powered E30 had a 3.25 and it was nice on the highway but i think a 3.46 would have been better. Honestly, BMW first gears are so low you are going to have traction problems no matter what rear gear you choose if you have some HP. I couldnt even put 2/3rds throttle on the ground in first with mine.

Scouring Craigslist I found a "supposed" 3.46 LSD that came out an e36 318is. Did the 3.46 LSD come out of the e36 too?
