The open diff hate thread..
 

I hate the diff in my car so much, with a LSD my car would be completely different.

I honestly think that they are dangerous aswell, because if you slide.. you really cannot power out nearly as well as if you had a LSD.

Whos with me here on the open diff hatred?

a lsd would be nice.

:agree

I already ordered a 3.23 LSD :)

Yum. How much?

I would be looking around for a 3.15 this xmas, but i think i may need a new tranny and i would like a new clutch, so thats going to come before a new diff.. heh.

I'll say a prayer for you guys w/Open diffs. LSD is the only way to go for the best of both worlds. Especially you guys with the high HPs and aero pkges. Open diffs are like shooting pool with a rope :stick

450 picked up, I'll try and get 400 for it.

how exactly do you know if u have open or not?

I know the e30 318is had a LSD as an option unfortunatly mine does not have one from what i'm told.

hm.
well when my cars on the rack both wheels spin the same way when they are spun.whats that mean?

You dont have a LSD.

ok then wtf do i have?

IIRC you have a 3.45 Open diff.

Okay, I was told, if the tires spin in the same direction, you have limited slip. I do know that if your BMW has an LSD, the differential case will have a "S" stamped on the housing near the top of the case. May be hard to see with the diff in the car, though.

one tire fire for the win here.
