08 135i with M track package-LSD???

im trying to figure out if i have an LSD equipped vehicle or no, some forums are saying no LSD, no true LSD only DSC. im trying to get a straightforward answer from someone who actually knows. i need to service the rear differential fluid and i dont want to run 75W140 and burn up my rear end if i dont have LSD. lots of people are saying redline 75w90 for a 1 series equipped with no LSD. i just want to make sure im using the correct fluid is all. any input is appreciated!!!

No current BMW has a LSD other than M cars. The 135 and 335 use DSC/braking/electronics to mimic what a LSD does.

I sure hope Red Line 75w90 is right because I just ordered two quarts for my 135i

if it doesnt have LSD (it shouldnt) that fluid should be more than adequate
