Originally posted by chris bmw M3: Nice car Stuy! Wot did you give for it? Is it the 325tds? The intercoolers on them are very small and it is a useful mod to upgrade them in conjunction with a live re-map/chip... Wanted to know too as chris says they are hard to find and do good money. PS do they come with a lsd????

Unfortunatly there is no LSD on it, just an open diff I also think the only E36 to have the LSD was the M3 as im led to belive the sports didnt have on either - maybe Chris knows more about this Next problem with fitting an LSD is the gearing. Any LSD will be from a petrol car, and will mess the final drive gearing up on a diesel, so you would need to strip a donor LSD and fit the LSD parts to the original diff to keep the gearing the same

Right, good news, Ive sussed out a way of getting an LSD fitted to the car Basically I knew an E36 LSD off a 325 sport, 328 or M3 would fit the car, but the final drive on the diff would mess the gearing up, which is quite crucial on the low revving diesels. Basically there are 3 types of diff done in the E36, the type 188 being the same as the E30 325 sport LSD, but in a different sized diff case. So, its them a case of stripping the TDS and E30 LSD down, and swapping the crownwheels over between the 2 diff units, ending up with the E30 LSD unit fitted with the E36 TDS crownwheel and then refit in the larger E36 case with the original bearings and shims. Hey presto, an LSD on the TDS, plus, E30 325 sport LSDs can now be picked up for less than £100, and the diff will retain all the original gear ratios Phew! Now that took some research
