Differential in a 2005 R53?

How do I know what kind of differential came stock on my (third-owner) 2005 R53? Were LSDs ever stock? Just curious. I'm changing my MTF this weekend, and would like to know what, exactly, I'm changing fluids in - besides just the gearbox. Thanks!

The LSD was an option....never standard.
many more were installed by folks when they did clutches...

in 2005 they were an option, give your VIN to a dealer and they can tell you if it was equipped.

A 500$ option to be exact. When you ordered the car new, it was another box you could check.
