Need some help with a purchase! 1986 325e + turbo or S50 swap...

[willybustaE30]

me "e" car tops out @ 110mph on the rev limiter.(4800-5000rpms)
i am running 3.73 lsd. it almost makes 1rst gear worthless, but it sure did wake her up. oh the tire size is 215-40-17

Some 'e' models did have an LSD. It was an option, kind of like the sport seats and check panel display were, I think...

With S2.93 LSD, it should hit 120.

Exactly. Look at the diff and there should be a metal tag. If it says S2.93 then it is LSD. Even if it isn't an LSD, you can always swap in a 3.25 LSD for better acceleration and you don't lose much on the top end. It also seems to be a popular ratio for turbo and S50 guys so you will be prepared either way.

I wanted those rims for my eta but Tirerack said they were out of production even though they were still on their site for tons long after they were. Id get it just for the rims. First time Ive actually seen 4lug RCs on an E30.

Yeah, and your car is about as reliable as an Irish prostitute Erick :)

Lack of resources have kept me from finishing the Megasquirt. Before that... yeah it was. :p
