the only E46 with a LSD is the M3. Otherwise you gotta buy aftermarket and are VERY expensive.

The only E46 fitted with an LSD was the M3, and an E46 M3 diff into a 328i will not go without a shedload of work – like the whole back axle from the M3. I’d be looking at Quaife products if I were you.

The numbers you need to identify your diff are on a small metal tag attached to one of the rear cover bolts. The first three numbers will be the ratio (e.g. 3 45 xxx..) , or if the numbers are preceded by an ‘s’ (e.g. S3 45 xxx..) then you have a limited slip diff.
