Hello,
Im looking for the vin number off an E36 328i with LSD stock. I know only a few made it to the USA and there are some in Canada.
Also is it possible to look up the order guides from Canada? I need a way to prove that some 328i had LSD in North America
Thanks
Eric
Early 325s got LSD, however no Dealer ordered 328 was outfitted with LSD, they got ASC+T.
Only way would have been to order one special, and Im not sure you could do that.

I don't think I've ever seen LSD on US obd2 e36 except for M3s. All of them had asc. It would be cool to have a 328is with no moonroof and factory lsd...but then it would be pointless to not get an M3

When did U.S. cars get OBD-II?
IIRC, LSD was on the U.S. price list through February 1996. Thereafter, Munich, if asked, would include LSD until the summer shutdown.
I have seen one 328is that came with an lsd, was on the build sheet and all, let me see if I still have the vin here...

Alas, I no longer have one. I learned about LSD being dropped from a stateside enthusiast, in early March, who noticed the change from the February '96 U.S. price list. I believe both were only a single side each.
I have kept a few German price lists which are much more detailed and break out the individual options.

From what I understand, theoretically, you can get an early '96 model with LSD, as ASC wasn't standard yet. I haven't seen a 328i/is in actuality have that option though.
Kind of off topic but also mentioned in this thread, no chance you can get a factory LSD + non-sunroof car as the option for no sunroof came in the '97 models. My '96 318ti had no sunroof, no ASC, and no secondary air pump from the factory. It was an interesting car since it was such an early OBDII car.
In the UK you can (could?) find many 2.93 LSD’s as the UK got a 328i Sport which had one factory fitted.
