Limited Slip Differential.

Is there a list of cars that have it ?

Lopéz · 21 Oct 2008 at 22:01

All cars? No, I wouldn't have thought so.

Amazing, finally a cool old beemer, and not the same old barges.

Gorgeous !!!!!!!!!!!

LOL

It's not like DSC or ESP, well actually it sort of is.. But still. You'll be here all week listing every car with an LSD

I'm pretty certain that if I RR'd it, it'd be nigh on factory figure. My '86 Corvette ran the dyno to exactly factory output and I imagine this BM would return the same, on gut instinct and the fact they're similarly enduring. Plus it still pulls hard and fast with no flatspots all the way to the limiter.

I may get it down Marlin and tested at some point

Wanted to know which cars are on drugs

Ah well

Howard · 21 Oct 2008 at 22:12

There's no reason why it shouldn't unless the engine is totally kaput. That Top Gear segment was a bit of an exaggeration I feel

Yours obviously is. It thinks it's a Volkswagen!

Skeeter · 21 Oct 2008 at 22:14

Ah, brings back memories of school when one of my teachers threw chalk around the classroom and chatted on about LSD....

First person to guess the subject with correct reasoning wins a cookie.

mrk · 21 Oct 2008 at 22:14

What! it is a Volks!

Howard · 21 Oct 2008 at 22:15

What's that on the dashboard? It looks like either a lens cap or a polarising filter

sigma · 21 Oct 2008 at 22:17

I really do like these! Must admit I don't think they look that good in white, dark grey or black = :cool:

Looks like it's a pretty nice example, the interior seems to have stood the test of time very well!

Workhorse engines :cool:

Looks really really good. Would love to go out in it, have always liked E30's. Plus a friend, who will probably also reply would be interested going out in it.

He would indeed. Have just started looking at these myself and as soon as I told saitrix he said that funnily enough you had just got an E30 and what an E30! Very impressive condition and only 1k you say?!?

I hear they are good to drive? Main reason I would like to have a ride along in one is so can see what the chassis is up to so can decide if would want one. Looking at vids on youtube strikes me as if they can be a bit lively with LSD and a stiff setup.

Lopéz · 21 Oct 2008 at 22:25

I always found the E30 keen to step out if you are liberal with the throttle. Nice and light at the back and very controllable. You don't need an LSD to slide one but it helps immensely.

G_D · 21 Oct 2008 at 22:41

what about general role and flex? again mainly in the chassis itself rather than suspension.

Barry Smalley · 21 Oct 2008 at 23:08

Gorgeous car. It has character.

Griffo · 21 Oct 2008 at 23:13

! That's a beauty indeed! Good to see that a relatively small budget can still return great things!

Did you say/I read from photo it's 130k ish?

Welder anyone?

Looks awesome and some amount of car for the money.
