Small 'potenital complaint' for me - we'll have to see how good the electronic LSD is (135i only). I think the E-LSD will brake the spinning wheel and not monkey with the throttle (ala traction control). That, I believe, is what the press release states - even with TC off the E-LSD will be in effect.
The question is how progressive will the E-LSD feel engaging and disengaging. (WIll it come on like a hammer and go off with a 'spin'. ; -)
That being said, a truly good LSD (a good expensive one, that is ; -) can make all the difference in the world on how a RWD car behaves under acceleration out of a corner.
My biggest concern with the diff will be realized if there isn't a 'drain & fill' plug on it. They should have some provision for changing lube.
