jrsites, the only problem with that review is that it was done in a pre-refresh 130i which means that it had hydraulically powered steering, not electric power steering.

From the US Press Release:
"
For instance, the accelerator pedal has a quicker response rate and electronic rear brake management is used to simulate a differential lock for stronger acceleration in turns."
It is nothing more than a performance-orientated traction control system which is nice but nothing like a real LSD.
