4.10, but LSD was an option. Look for the "s" on the tag on the back of the diff. My diff also has large white "s"s stamped all over it.Comment

it wasnt an option on the IS model it simply came with one OEsigpicComment

Yeah, I always thought LSD was standard on an "iS"...Comment

The auto we converted to a manual at work had a 3.73 lsd.Comment

Very interesting. I'll have to get under her tomorrow and see what's in there.Comment

Should be a 3.73, could be open or LSD. 4.10's didn't come until 1990 I believe.Comment

Is there a market for the 4.10LSD?Comment

Probably one of the most desirable diffs.Originally posted by Ben Carufel View PostOriginally posted by GrueliusComment

If anyone desires- I've got one FS.
OH, and to help clarify the diff question that this thread has brought up- All E30 325is 5 speeds had 3.73 LSD, Early E30 325is automatics also had 3.73 LSD (up until mid '88 I think) SO all 89, 90, 91 (if there was such a thing) 325is autos will have a 410 LSD from the factory.
Keep in mind that by now many of these have been swapped- I've found all sorts of different (i.e.- not as came from the factory) ratios in cars while looking for diffs.

+1 to everything Bret just said .
Plus I'll add that although the "s" designation meant that LSD was standard on the 6cyl cars it was still only an option on the 318is .
So this means that all "is" or "es" came with LSD as part of the "sport package" but the 318is came with an open diff unless the LSD option was selected .
So true that by now many diffs could/may have been swapped though .
Recently while in a boneyard I came upon a tarted up (read fanboy) 318is and discovered it had an Etas 2.79LSD installed in it .
Can you imagine how slow that thing would have been . :D
Guess the fanboy thought the LSD would be a good upgrade but neglected to inform himself about the actual ratio . :DComment
