Looking for a price-point for an LSD

[bflan2001]

My brother recently bought a 78 320i. It has a 3.64 LSD in it, but he's swapping it for a 3.91. I know the 3.64's are a lot more rare than the 3.91s, but is there a demand for this thing? I would think high HP '02 guys would be all over it. What should he sell this thing for?

If you don't already have a 3.91 LSD, I'll trade you for the 3.64. Right now I'm debating if I should keep the 3.45 (works with the current 4 speed) or go to a 3.64 with a 5 speed. In any case, I have a 3.91 LSD if you're up to trade. Email using the FAQ button in my profile..

the going swap meet price for a LSD is $175 - $275 - $350

depending on sellers willingness to unload stuff,

add shipping$ , and hope the unit is not worn out ?.........

jprocket, i'd be interested in your 3.45 if it's a LSD. i have a 3.64LSD from a 320i. may also be interested in the 3.45 gearset if it's from an open diff. i have a C/R 5 spd that may be a good match for 3.45. i'm in marin.

Assuming similar conditions...

1 3.91 LSD sells for $200-$300

A 3.64 LSD sells for $250-$350.

A 3.45 LSD is worth even more. It's all matter of supply and demand.

Of course, we have all seen 3.91 LSDs sell for $50 and 3.64 LSD sell for $500 but that is not the norm.

I'd agree with all of these prices 5 or 10 years ago. But prices have gone up... finding LSDs is getting much tougher now.

$375-475 is not out of the question or unreasonable these days for a 3.91 LSD.

and keep in mind that even though it may have started life as an LSD, after 30 years of use there is not much "limited" left and a lot of "slip". these are a wear item. the clutch packs inside them loose effectiveness pretty quickly.

a 30 year old lsd is valuable as a core to be rebuilt, not as a funtioning lsd....
