I guess they came on 533is and 535is

I've got a 3.25 lsd that I pulled from an E30.

Edit: I also have a 3.23 unlimited slip from an E30.

They are around, just harder to find than the regular ratios.

I think i might keep my open in the yards for a 3.25 or if im lucky, a 3.15.. I guess they came on 533is and 535is

They never made a 533is. Most US-bound E28 535is' had an optional 3.25 LSD. Swiss E28 535is'/M535i's had a couple different ratios available (including 3.45 and 3.15.) Dogleg G265CR's came with 3.07 LSD, and post-9/86 535iA's had an optional 3.45 LSD.

The 3.15 also came in Z3 M Coupes, if I remember right. Those diffs (specific to those cars) also have badass diff covers with cooling fins.

there was apparently a 3.15 that came on i think diesels.. or thats what ive heard anyway but its probably impossible to track down

No it didn't

+1 a 4.10 on an eta would be called the first gear delete mod



And rTHor, ill look for a 3.2...

my old eta came with the 4.10 stock

No it didn't

[SpecM]

huh?

my old eta came with the 4.10 stock, threw it in my 325i with the m20 and a chip and it was a rocket...

now i have a m30 and i use the 3.73 and dont have any problems with 1st gear or freeway cruising for that matter.

whaaa?

[rThor432]

Yeah... idk i might try it as ive got one.. but on the highway i feel like ti would be brutal

Try a 3.25 or 3.46 at most. 3.73 will not be a good experience on the highway. You'll be cruising at 70 and be about 1500 rpm off redline.

[alpinweib30]

thats why i like my looooooong 2.93LSD :)
especialy with the eta only taching up to 4,500rpm

i would have some bottle caps for you Stephen but with my new dirfting addiction it looks like they are going back on the back (cheaper tires). BTW your photography is realy good. you should stamp or lock your photos though. you could be loosing alot of money

Thanks! i really should stamp them or something

And to avoid confusion, the fund is to get me off bottlecaps ;)

I used to have a bavauto chip and a 3.73 on my eta before I swapped for the M30. it was quick but it really killed the top speed, went from like ~125 to 110 or 115. first gear was pretty useless

[Snoopy]

Do you run a 3.7? hows your mpg? and where'd your first gear go?

I always tell people the "es" stands for extra slow. Well that is until they ride in the car and learn that it is not the case.

[alpinweib30]

yes im told that a chip makes a very large diff. on these. so far mines bone stock with 250k++miles with just 2 1/2" cat back. if i want outstanding estimated time of arrival i just borrow my boss's Ferrari :finger:
