Rear differential type?

I've got a 1990 740Ti almost to stage 0 (restored to OEM) since it has been inherited from my parents.

I did a lot of slippery driving up in yosemite national park this summer (I lived there) and it felt to me like it has a limited slip differential. I don't know if I just never got into a situation where one completely lost traction or not, but I also drove through gravel and powder and still never had total wheel spin.

Just a hunch,I could always check while it's up on blocks or my mechanics shop or just check the specs.

Curiousity killed the cat but improved every car ever manufactured.

*Cough*

NO my car does not have a limited slip. I found out today, in the rain. I'd just never been careless enough before to totally lose one wheel.
