Can anybody tell me, based on the piccy, what the LSD type this is? is it a standard BMW fitment?..off a 3-series? an original 2002?

General question , does a limited slip diff give better road holding/​traction because it is less likely to spin the rear wheels . Is it likely to help with traction at motorway speeds in the rain.

Am in the process of finally fitting my E21 323i LSD so rang Demon Tweeks to get some suitable oil but their Castrol and Millers catalogues only said it needs "special oil".They sell 4 or 5...

Castrol do a really good LSD oil. I have used Castrol for 20 years and never had a problem.

Hi Is there an address or something of Fritz Bitz?? I'm interested and as the pound is at a record low it could be interesting for me. greetz Guido

Guido de Oude 12 December 2008 12:48

Fritz’s Bitz often have one – usually go for around 350 quid. I thought all the e21 LSD’s were 3.45:1?

Nick Vyse 25 November 2008 15:04

Hi James, Thanks for the info. The difference between the two oils is that LS is mineral based and SAF XJ fully synthetic. The only differences is the price.

John Hudson 01 August 2007 20:20

Hi to all, Has anyone got a lsd for sale?????? cheers Cameron

cameron weir 11 February 2008 21:44

lsd's give better dry traction at lower (than motorway) speeds, when powering out of or around a corner. this is because the plates in the diff limit the wheelspin of the inner tyre, and the power...

Russell Crawford 02 July 2009 15:38

Hi Nick, That's a short neck diff. Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger Get it now!

John Hudson 31 July 2007 09:14

Hey Russell – what set-up do you think would help your 6 cylinder beast stop snapping side ways on rain drenched dual carriage-ways? Perhaps some tyres with some tread!

Nick Vyse 03 July 2009 08:49

 hi fay 3.9 would be just fine. cameron

cameron weir 12 February 2008 21:47

 What % and ratio are you looking for Cameron? We may have some hubs if not the complete diff. Regards Fay

Pete Moore 12 February 2008 16:48

Try www.ebay.com (ex america). That's where I got my last one from.

John Hudson 12 February 2008 07:58

Weirdly enough I had this set drop very expensively drop into my lap.. and considering the rarity and amount they made of them, could not say no.

Hi dave. What's the e30 rear subframe like on a road car? I'm planning on (one day, maybe in a couple of years) turbocharging my 02 and would like a stronger rear end, not to mention cheaper lsds.

Hi I'm a new member and until now have never started a thread anywhere so here goes.... I have a 1976 1602 race car that I bought from a very nice chap in Scotland earlier this year.

Ed Simpson 24 November 2009 00:10

Yeah its marked S40... which matches old receipt that states 40% LSD, but no make or anything.

carsten svendsen 18 August 2009 14:36

if you turn th crown wheel in the middle it should have a number stamped on it 25 40 or if your lucky 75 this denotes the percentage of slip if its an e21 i thought they were usually on 25% mark...

mark carels-watson 18 August 2009 08:30

AHA!!..

carsten svendsen 17 August 2009 16:49

So its an original ZF diff then?... reason is that I may need it rebuildt.

carsten svendsen 17 August 2009 16:03

It's an 02/​early E21 LSD. The pic of Nicks looks like that as fitted to narrow E30 diffs (which do fit)

John Hudson 17 August 2009 09:16

I can only say it looks different to my e21 LSD - see attached. Nick From: carsten svendsen <604carsten@gmail.com> Reply-To: <(Address removed)>

Thanks fellas That explains it to me in terms even I can understand. Cheers Paul

You will only notice a difference in moving off on a slippery surface and accelerating hard out of a corner.

Hi Anders, If anyone had info on this car, it would have to be you! I was thinking that you could clarify the specs.

I know someone else who had the spax kit fitted who now has two nice dimples on either side of his bonnet caused when going over a speed bump! Save up for bilsteins.

Hello Guido Thanks for the offer mate , it's a bit more than I want to pay and I am in no rush .

I'm running Bilstein sports all round after Nicks advice on Spax being rubbish.Got a good deal 2 years ago when the euro exchange rate was much better.

Changing the factory colour of a car nearly allways devalues it but by how much is the million dollar question.

Period performance parts are half the fun to me personally. I like to give my cars a bit of my own mark on them whilst retaining what BMW's are all about. i.e the driving experience.
