My friend, I too had the intention with my 135is.

I thought the eDiff might be enough for me, but once driven it becomes incredibly obvious that the car is lacking. Nearly half of the Car's day-to-day performance, is lost due to not having a true LSD.

Every turn, or any time I step into some power, the rear does things I don't like, and is awkward. It wasn't until after driving my friends Stang, I realized how badly I missed an LSD, & how badly the 135i needs an LSD.


The M235i needs an LSD, to be a M235i.
Otherwise you are buying nany electronics, that want to cheat you out of your cars intended performance.

But at least you will have the option ($1,500??). BMW welded my sh1t, because they know people wouldn't buy an M3, when they can get a 135i w/lsd from dealer.


edit:
LSD is NOT about skill, it is about how it feels and responds.
Are you talking about the e-diff (aka rear brakes) grabbing the brakes on turns and releases ones the car straightens and give you that boost???
