    Just checking if I have an LSD

    A mech saw my car and told me that I do not have LSD but I do have a 325is. I put the two rear wheels in the air and spun the left rear tire in a forward motion and the other wheel spun the same way. I spun the left rear wheel backwards and the right rear went the same way. I thought that LSD made the tires go in opposite ways. Plus, my LSD says 373 S. SO I think I have LSD but just making sure because I am confused.

      can you do burn outs and leave two tire marks,or you can try taking a corner a little to fast and oversteer and see if you slide?

        From what you described, you DO have an LSD

          Yes you have an LSD, The Tag has the designated "S" on it. Also, your thinking is backwards. the way limited slip works is by "locking" the axles together which requires both tires and axles to be spinning in the same direction. SO....

          LSD = tires spin the same direction
          No-LSD = tires spin in opposite directions

              I thought no LSD means = you spin one tire and the other tire stays still.

                But anyway, I got LSD. Good. I was worried. A member from here told me I had it but just wanted to make sure.
