I think they were Torsens and fairly reasonably priced. My experience with used LSDs, whether already in a car or acquired at a PnP or similar, has not been good---after a while they all need to be rebuilt by a specialist for $$$, so you might as well just buy new. Hey, didn't the AMG Hammer come with a Torsen diff? How'd they do it? Yeah, I know, extensive hand-fabbing that wouldn't be worth the time and effort to duplicate...

Re: [MBZ] BMW 5 series suregrip diff on an MB?
Not bloody likely, but hey, I've been wondering the same thing about grafting one of the locking diffs from an Audi Quattro, as well. You could theoretically fabricate the mounts, but I doubt the CV and driveline flanges would be adaptable. And then there's the whole thing about comparable final drive ratios...oh well. I can't for the life of me figure out why MB produced so few LSD setups, back in the day.

[MBZ] BMW 5 series suregrip diff on an MB?
Will a 5 series (80's vintage) BMW sure-grip differential fit any of our cars, particularly my '85 300SD... Friend found one at the PNP and I at least thought it worth asking, although I realize it's not likely. (But, hey, the Reutter oil caps are interchangeable).
