You'd feel much safer, and confident, with an LSD. Just saying
These cars are great, out of the box. But until you try one with an LSD, or a newer M car to feel the experience, you'll never see how unstable/unsettled the open diff cars really are, in comparison. With DSC off, your car still uses the cross ABS traction feature which mitigates (albeit, poorly) what 20% of an LSD can do. Unfortunately, it always responds to late, and typically upsets the balance of the car. It actually will cause the car to jerk mid slide/oversteer, and to me that's not safe at all. I had to turn that ABS/lsd feature off because it was interfering with the engagement of the LSD on uneven surfaces.
