Hi everyone,I what to know is there any way to find out does differential have LSD by vin code
which BMW model and built year do you have?
if it’s a question of if it is LSD or not just turn the input flange, if the output flanges turn in the same direction it’s limited slip, if they turn in opposite directions it’s open diff. There should also be a large white stamped “S” on the top (or perhaps the bottom) of the diff case if it’s LSD.
In addition, if you’re questioning the gear ratio, count how many turns the input flange rotates for one complete turn of the output flange = your ratio.

Here it says: no E39 (other than the M5) ever left the factory w/ LSD , The DSC system tries to act like Limited Slip by applying brakes to the wheel that is spinning. https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...How-can-I-tell
