lsd for '99 E46 328i Manual

[budha59]

What LSD diff will fit the '99 E46 328i Manual?

I like steering with the rear, but it stops too soon with the normal open diff in place.

Any help would be appreciated.

I like your style ... bmw drivers do it sideways ... haha, right ? .. right ? ...

importparts
he can organize a Quaife for you from the UK or a clutch type from the US

Quaife are maintenance free unlike the clutch type and they are very progressive in how they work so you dont get any jerk

Mmmmh, looking for local companies.

Do either of you know what clutch type diff I must look for, as in what BMW they were in and if I can use my current diff housing or need a new diff housing as well?

If I am not mistaken the e36 M3 and some of the e36 328i's (individual or something) came out with an LSD, not sure if they would fit but it might be worth a try.

no bmw diff will fit without heavy modification
import parts is south african... streetracer got a Quaife from them cost about 15k

if you want to use an e36 diff the output flanges an your half shafts need to be custom made (maybe more)... if you consider that the e36 clutch type will also need maintenance if you do allot of sideways stuff... the Quaife will be cheaper...
