I've found a good deal on an E30 325is. The only downside is that it is an autotragic. Aside from the obvious, are there any hard differences between stick and automatic versions? Gearing, LSD, power, etc.?

The rear end is a 4.10 compared to a 3.73

D'oh...I didn't realize until the second time reading this that you were the OP Psteav.

You're welcome to come take a look at mine anytime for comparison. Now is a particularly good time. Or ask me for any photos. How good a deal is this one you're looknig at? 'Cause mine's already apart and an "is" is much more appealing than my eta.

You stay away, Clem....you've already gotten more than your share of the good deals locally this month.

Besides, this deal is four figures, which is more than you spend, ya cheapskate.

Driveshaft length and rear gearing are only things I can think of. And I think the E30, like the E36, has a separate computer that controls the automatic.
