Don't remember any "is" designation in the E46 and even the ZHP option didn't offer a separate model designation though it purportedly offered more power than the standard car. It wasn't until the E92/93 that 335is actually meant more power.

My recollection is that when BMW offered LSD, you didn't need to order a different package to get it in most cases. It was just an option. I know in my E28 535is most of those came with it but it was still the same option as it was in the regular 535i.

Was the lsd offered on the standard "i" trim e30s? I hunted down an IS specifically because I'd wanted the LSD and better seats. I don't recall ever seeing a regular 325/318i with a factory LSD
