Interesting if correct re LSD and didn't mean retrofit.

Among the standard equipment planned for the 2-Series coupe in Australia will be air conditioning, leather bound multi-function steering wheel, park sensors, automatic dimming rear view mirror and LED tail lamps.

The 2-Series uses the same range of longitudinally mounted engines and same rear-wheel drive platform as the existing 1-Series hatchback – a layout BMW says provides the new car with class leading performance and handling.

In efforts to lift its dynamics and provide it with a more sporting nature than its hatchback siblings, BMW’s engineers have provided the entry-level coupe with unique chassis tuning, including its own track widths, which also vary between standard 2-Series coupe models and the M235i. An electronically controlled limited slip differential also appears on range topping model as standard.

Although BMW is yet to officially confirm it, Munich based sources say selected models, including the M235i, are set to receive an xDrive four-wheel drive option at a later stage.

The 2-Series coupe is assembled at BMW’s Leipzig factory on the same line as the 1-Series hatchback.
