I recently drove an older, open diff 528i again and the difference to even a stock 135i is shocking. I would find it hard to believe that the difference isn't obvious. With a completely open diff, the inside wheel lights up like a Christmas tree around pretty much every corner.

I've driven an early 335i with an open diff (newer 335i's have the e-LSD) and other BMW's with open diffs and my 135i with the e-LSD on the same track, and I can certainly confirm the e-LSD is not at all the same as the open diff. It is certainly better than an open diff if those are your only 2 options.
