You did ask me first John. That is why I posted this thread. My moral compass is calibrated such that in my mind you have first up on this car.

You mentioned selling your e30 before iirc. P.M.a price your thinking about. I'm looking to get another, mine both have some rust and body damage and sadly automatic tranny's. Send your worst price (lol). Come on Bill, you know its to time and money consuming to keep up with.

[Johnmadd]

Yes

Thanks Halo! Are you referring to the ZHP finding some ice? I saw that - that's rough. Any tire on ice is unpredicable.

I'm happy to say my E30 has done me right the last few winters.

Eli - good to know you are the man with some connections in Minneapolis.

Now that I think about it, I have seen a few guys up your way on BF.c looking for the clean E30s. I bet winters up there can be brutal on daily drivers.

Damn I would love to have this.

BTW... LSD was standard on the E30 325is. Manuals came with a 3.73 LSD and the autos had a 4.10 LSD. It's common to swap the 4.10 into the 5 spd cars for a little acceleration improvement.

Thanks Mike!

Appreciate the information! I thought I read somewhere that the ratios were fairly standard like that, but couldn't find the forum thread quick enough to confirm.

One of the wikis I checked when I posted the above thread listed 4 different differential ratios for E30s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_3_Series_(E30)

I'm not too familiar what the pre-87 cars had but I do remember the 88-91 iX had 3.91's front and rear and the old eta cars (325e, 325es) had 2.93.

Most definitely haha. Well, too bad you are so far away. Like I said, If this was for sale near me, I would go cash in hand to you.

Bill, did you sell it? I see that sale was pending.
