BMW stopped offering LSD on the non-diesel E36s a year before the car was built. (Folks in the U.S. had to special order it starting another half year earlier.)
On the 9/97 German price list, ASC was a 990 DM option.

I don't know what options BMW Italy bundled into their cars. I mentioned the German price list to suggest that they would have had to pay Munich to include it on every car. It would not have cost them anywhere near 100 000 Lira, but it would still have raised the selling price. At that time, you could save a fair amount of money buying an Italian BMW and reimporting to Germany. That makes me suspect they didn't order ASC on every car.

how i could be sure I do not have ASC??? there is a control unit or a cpu un the engine bay?
The build information you posted earlier, the missing ASC switch, and the no ASC light when you turn on the ignition convince me the car does not have ASC.
I found this 318ti with no Asc 
, but the most interesting thing is that with my surprise , in this car there is no asc button on the left.
