Does my W211 have an LSD diff?

Is there any visual clues that would tell me it does? It drives like it has one, I can pitch it sideways with the throttle nicely. I read somewhere else on the forum that there was a performance package option? 030 or something? Any help would be appreciated!

Do you have light silver wheels or dark grey ones? The performance package comes with light colored silver wheels like this.

My wheels are light silver split spoke. It an E55 though, not a E63. I looked under the car and the Diff has a big finned aluminum cover that says AMG on it.

The E55 was not available with a performance pkg (030) like on the E63. To answer your question, the diff in the E55 is not an LSD. The diff housing has the fins to help keep it cool. You may want to look into a quaife for a good LSD option.

Just quaife is the way to go let me know if we can help we have them in stock $1000 shipped, and also have a install kit for $300 if you are interested.
