I was looking at a small case differential for sale and the description said it was a 3.46 ratio from a 95 318ti but in the pictures i dont see an S on the case so is it still an LSD? I dont wanna get it only to find out its an open differential like the one i already have. here are some pics. __________________ | | | 01-07-2009, 05:48 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | As far as I know Ti DIffs are either a 3.45 or 4.10. The CS diff is a 3.45LSD.
