        You guys getting a bidding war started?

        No LSD

        Previous owner was Mike McGovern, chief instructor at the Bondurant school. He used it as a daily driver for ~8 years. I remember when he bought the car when I was working out in Phoenix @ the school. When Ramey and I went out to Bondurant in 2008 he had it for sale and I was looking for one. Drove it back from Phoenix.

        I don't think I want to drive to Denver, but might be able to meet you half way, say Lubbock or so

                    Just to clarify... I am not to be the owner. My wife has clearly stated that SHE is the owner and this is HER car.

                    she really liked my last 318is... but we got rid of it because she was pregnant at the time and it really wasn't practical for her

                      John - LSD is an easy swap. Diffs are plentiful.

                        Remember, this has the 168mm small case. I've been looking and have not found one yet. If you find one, let me know. 4.10 LSD small case 168mm.

                        Thanks!

                          check www.car-part.com for a 1991 318is "carrier".. there are around 10-15 lockers on there. One was listed for $150.

                          I'll double check the car tonight and make sure that the current diff is open. I can't say that I ever actually checked it.

                          There are also 3.64 and 3.91 geared small case diffs out there from 84-85 318i cars.
