I have a 1987 325i with the limited slip differential. It isn't clear in the manual what oil (plus additives??) to use in this rear end. Can anyone recommend the right stuff to put in. Thanks so much in advance.

Of course, conventional clutch-type LSD's require special fluid for that purpose...
That's true in part. Redline Gear oil contains a friction modifer for LSD in it:
