One thing to consider is what type of LSD. The OEM that comes in M cars is clutch type that works on wheel spin. Quaife is a Torsen and works on torque. The wheel does not spin. One wheel will eventually slip because it is not a locker, but when it is trying to do it's job and transfer torque to the wheel with grip, it isn't spinning. When the LSD finally reaches it's bias limit, it would be my guess that the wheel would spin and the electronics would kick in. Not sure what the electronics would do for power on over steer with a Quaife.

It is unfortunate that a LSD isn't an option, but for me, I would take a $1500 Torsen over a $2000 (?) clutch type any day.
