if it has more than 2 dozen hoses running everywhere, you still have the original engine - the M20B23 on Bosch L-Jetronic management. sweet thing when running right.

it appears you need to attend the next tt session for the answers to your questions. your car would definitely be in qood condition if you can keep up with my 325i :wink:

i also wondering ....the pic was posted after his reply ...i tot my pc got problem to upload d pic ......
 
To check for LSD: next time your car is car on a lift, try to turn one of the rear tires by hand. If both rears turn when you do this, you have LSD.

Also LSD will have an S in the part number on the diff case.

325i..?? so what?
 
earlier 83 cars, some came with K-jetronics, leftover from the e21 323 setups , similair setup with the L-jets, can't tell for sure unless its stated on the ECU or the transistor panel on the firewall

somehow i get the feeling the engine is not orginal on this car or it has been overhauled or something, lots of things looks out of place, .......don't ask me how i know.......
