That distinction may be what determines which differential you would need.
Also, since you're in the learning phase.. do a lot of research on this site about MFactory and also look into Diffsonline.
So yea in the end I will end up with two diffs... the current one, in a 330i MT will stay untouched and in storage once removed. Not opening it, just stashing it.

The one I will source, a pumpkin from a 330i Automatic will get cracked open, the stock diff will be removed, and replaced with a LSD from either Wavetrac or MFacotry along with the gearing that is in that pumpkin. Then bolted on the 330i MT car. It is exactly what ZentRose did on YouTube.
