Bmw 2002 ti LSD

[Poon]

Just curious but how much are the original Bmw 2002 LSD's going for?

There is a guy selling one (with a bunch of parts ) from a 1969 2002 ti. Yes, a real ti imported from Europe. He's asking $700 for the diff. I know the earlier diff's had long necks, but is that the same for the LSD's as well?

Thanks,

That seems like a fair price to me? If it is in good condition? BillyRay, not too far from you in Crescent City, CA and needing ti parts. Please drop me a line as I am looking for a few ti specific pieces. smallfastforeign@aol.com

Sent you an email.

This LSD was rebuilt quite a few years ago, but the seller claims it hasn't had many miles since it was rebuilt.

Almost wondering if it would be cheaper to install a 320is lsd though.

i paid $700 for my original 02 LSD. it would be cheaper to go the 320is route as they are now fetching about $250-400 on ebay these days and add on a $50 spacer kit from Aardvark Racing and you're good to go.

i wonder if this is the same ti owner from Calgary who had two ti's rusting away in his yard. at the time, he'd rather let them rust into the ground than part them out or help export them to the USA.

it's a car worth saving

Jerry,

I do know that the ti was from Calgary! The current owner now runs a small restoration shop , and previously had the car and sold it to a friend. His friend didn't use the car much, and let it rust very badly so he bought it back at a good price and now it's being parted.

is it one of these 'beauties' ?

i was offered the red one for $800 at the time, but exporting an unregistered car into the USA before the winter snows proved to be too difficult.

broke my heart.

gads, i'd love to get my hands on the carcass and matching engine. i have all the remainder parts to reassemble a ti at this point.

Hey guys, it seems like all of a sudden more tis are popping up after years of trying to track them down for the ti Register. Feel free to post info or send it to me via email at vstrazzabosco@yahoo.com. VIN numbers especially...

So, what is special about a ti diff? The factory manual shows these as 3.64:1, in common with the 2002 and 2002A cars. Check out Dave at Aardvarc Racing:

http://www.2002parts.com/html/differentials.html

as a quality source for these diffs. I bought an E21 3.64:1 LSD diff from him a few years ago (prices seem to have gone up a bit, but nowhere near $700) and have been happy with the product. He also provided the 02 flanges and spacers I needed to install this diff for a reasonable price.

[Poon]

I think 2002 LSD diffs are worth a bit more because they bolt right in, nothing needs modification, no extra parts are needed, and they are quite rare.

E21 LSD's (as rare as they are) still seem pretty common and pop up from time to time, where as 2002 LSD's seem almost impossible to get.

Indeed, although this distinction is important mostly to the "originality" people. The good news is that no permanent modification is required to use an E21 diff.

The big differance between a 2002 lsd and a 320 one is the percentage of look up, the 02's being 40% or maybe even 75% while the 320's is 25%.

[Poon]

Any idea which is better for a daily driver?

I assume a full fledged race car would want the most lock up, so would 25% be best for a DD?

Ha ha, when I looked at them he wanted $2500 for the ti's and $5000 for the very early white tii (25th tii to NA).

I guess he came down a bit.

bone stock 80+ lsd are 25%, only 77-80 e21 lsd are 40%, and they are very rare. duno for 02.

btw, i want those wheels BAD.
