I do believe the attached picture should sum it up...

BMW introduced a different style differential with the Z3 and I don't think that they were equipped with the 188mm medium case LSD's. From what I can tell (but not 100% sure) BMW got away from installing LSD's after ~1996ish with a few exceptions, the M3 being one of them. BMW either used Automatic Stability Control plus Traction ASC+T or a Torsen differential (similar to a Quaife).
