Mike's Alpine White 1991 318is

Interesting! I always thought the 318is came with LSD standard but I guess I was wrong. Good to know that the original buyer of mine spec'd it with the LSD from new.

Ya I though the same as well, learn something new every day. Looking good on the Ronals!

Keep it coming!

Thanks, Simon!

Why a small case, out of interest? Be warned that friends have had them blow up behind a M10 on a track

Wondering the same, I would only assume for weight savings?

The 318is came with a small case 4.10 open diff from the factory. A small case 4.10 LSD was optional. As my car has the open diff, I've been wanting to replace it with the correct small case S4.10.

Yes, the E30 medium case diffs will bolt right up and are more plentiful (not to mention more gear ratios to choose from). Call me crazy, but I just wanted to find a diff the car would've been optioned with. Plus the weight savings is always nice as the M42 can use all the help it can get. ;)
