Which ones have LSD?
Discussion
Hi folks, my first post in BMW-land is because I am looking for a RWD car with a LSD for under £1000. I'm looking at K or L reg 3 or 5 series... what "E" numbers would they be?... and I was hoping that an online anorack, erm that is, knowledgeable expert, could let me know which ones had LSD as standard. Would a 525, for example, or a 325? And does it make it different if it's an estate?
All help welcomed... in return, if project cheap car does become project BMW, I promise I'll keep posting here!
Cheers, Dean.

I only know a little on this subject from past ownership.
The E36 (3 Series) M3's have LSD and LSD was an option on 328's (my sport auto had one but I had to specify it). You cannot get a BMW LSD for the E36 325, I tried, it doesn't exist and others are the wrong ratio.
I think you could get an LSD for the 318IS but I'm not 100%.

For £1k you'll struggle to get an E36 with an LSD. - There are plenty of E30s out there with LSDs, or pick up a decent E30 and I know a few people who'll sell you an LSD in your choice of ratio for a couple hundred quid.
Of course, if it's just a £1k car, you'll be entering it into Scumball? (www.scumball.co.uk)
