Another thing to remember is that BMW does not offer mechanical LSDs to non-M cars.
And BMW wants their cars to be as reasonably priced as possible (for that luxury segment).
What use is a 135i that costs way more than the competition due to a feature that maybe 1% know about. And they definitely don't want to take sales away from the 1M and M3.
