After searching online for 45 minutes and phoning Halfords, GSF and Camberley Auto Factors.... Where the hell can i buy it from that i can have it in my hand today or monday latest.

Closest i can find is 85W140 and i'm not sure my diff will take that without causing damage!? Car in question is an E36 328 sport with LSD.

These people:

Might be able to help? They list this:

I would imagine your friendly local BMW stealership would be the best place if you have to have it by Monday.

already tried BMW and as its 'sealed for life' they don't stock it as a part. They directed me to their service department to find out where they get it, at which point i walked out as i don't fancy paying £100+ an hour to get it done!!

Looks like i'll have to buy it online....

Don't know where you are in the country and if the seller is about .....but there's a guy on Ebay in Fleet advertising the right stuff with an option to collect in person
