i have an auto N/A r33 , series 1

as far as i know the diff is standard

but what ive noticed is it refuses to throw singles?

with the car jacked up i spin a wheel and the other rotates the different way and it feels real tight

its never thrown one single ever , what kind of diff comes standard in these?

not a bad thing im just curious

cheers

from memory all N/a cars come stock with no LSD, some factory upgraded ones came with LSD. But dont quote me on that.

so if you jack your car up and turn the right wheel clockwise, the other side turns in the opposite direction???? that means its a standard lsd

if both turn in the same direction, it means its has a LSD

LSD= both wheels lock up under a certain amount of accelerated pressure

Stock= one will light up at a time, unless you are on a pretty even surface and going straight, it can light up both wheels if lucky.

SOME S2 GTST's came equipped with a ALSD's but very few, i dont think any S1 came with it tho

Then it'll be a type s, easy way to tell look at the model code if it reads e-ecr it's a type s. if its just ecr it's not.

Mine has a LSD rear end in it from factory although I'm not sure of the Diff ratio in it.

This is incorrect, the extra E is for something else, fast will tell you if it's type s or not.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
