Question Does the LSD from the Clubsport have an 'S' on it too?

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.

As far as I know Ti DIffs are either a 3.45 or 4.10. The CS diff is a 3.45LSD. I havent heard of a 3.46

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

The S would be on a metal tag attached to the diff.

The yellow tag has the part number.

Check that with your local dealer and see exactly what it is...

ok i see that it says 25% lock on the right but at the bottom the 25% lock is not highlighted. so yes or no on it being a limited slip differential? and the ratio is 3.45 correct?

you´re reading it wrong though

it asks " cars with 25% lock" or "s209a" and next to it says Yes

the numbers under show for final drive with diff lock

one is for manual (M) and the other for automatics (A)
the ratio is 3,45 yes
