A friend is parting out a Euro 635csi that has a limited-slip rearend. Will this work in my CS? I'm not up to date on the rearends (at least with cars).

It will fit. More than likely a 3.07 LSD.
Typically these were mated to a dogleg 5 speed.

It will fit if it's a sideloader. If it's the rear-loading diff from a later e24 it won't. Easy to tell -- if it has a finned aluminum cover that bolts on the back it's the wrong diff style.
If it is from a 79-early 81 635, yes.
Mid-81 the euro 635's went from E12 to E28-based chassis.
NOTE, as already pointed out, the early 635 Euro (affectionastely known as "The Truth" by their lucky owners, came with a 3.07 ratio LS, coupled to a CR 5-speed and a VERY torquie, and rather unique 3.5 liter engine, it is NOT a good diff for the average transplant-recipient, IMHO.
Though I gotta say I DID put one in the old Max Hoffmann 2800, and loved it....once I was on the interstates.

Hey Dang, would have thought something small,well rounded, clad in frayed Denim seat covers with tanned bits on both sides would fit perfectly with an E9

I have the 3.07lsd diff mated to a dogleg powered by a 3.5 and it is a great match for the coupe. The powerband is in the 3500+ RPM range and requires a bit more shifting than the OD five speed. When cruising around town it's a blast to drive; when on the freeway I prefer the OD tranny with a 3.64 diff
