Some of you guys forget bmw engineers don't have the last say in what comes to market. BMW refuses to offer lsd's for any non-M car (not even as an option) to protect the value of M cars. They'll most likely limit hp of 135i software for similar non-engineering reason.

By far the most insightful post here. It would be marketing suicide for BMW to allow a $36k 135i coupe with a flash ($1-2k?) to equal or exceed the performance of a $58k M3 coupe. Same reason there will likely never be an "M1".
