Do you really,
really think that this is making BMW a ton of money and laughing all the way to the bank?? Think about it. This is a very low volume product, for a few people who want more performance out of the F2X or F3X platform. Its a product developed specifically for a few models of car. BMW built this
because of people complaining it didn't exist.
Also, you have a 135is with an open diff. I challenge you to get a LSD unit installed with labor/machining etc for less than this offering. In fact, I'd put $100 down on you not being able to. There are already a number of examples in this thread of people reporting that to do this on any car its going to cost around 3k. Plus, you have downtime because the car can't be driven with no differential.
Finally, you can't install an "M" diff in any car other than an M car because you would have to completely re-engineer the wiring harness and chassis to be able to handle it...and then you have an M car.
Sorry for the rant, but the comments going around about this are ridiculous and unfounded.
