You don't need the actual VIN number to check it. Just choose a 525d in the beginning.
Or am I missing something here?

I don't know who told you that a 525d M Sport came with a LSD rear axle.RealOEM just gives a part number for a remanufactured differential ,there is no mention of LSD.Likewise when you input a VIN for the 530d M Sport.Anyway,they do not have the same part numbers.

I would imagine they dont have one, I think even the 550i has not got one.

checked E60 m5 has them but no m sports unless someone has paid to get one fitted

might look into getting a spare diff and having it welded so its always locked

very similar to a lsd had some done on my E30 bmw before
