My only in-depth experiences with a limited slip are with an E30 with a rebuilt 4.10 Clutch LSD and VW GTI MK7 Performance Pack OE LSD, the two cars I owned prior to my M235i (Open Diff), although I have driven an M2 a few times and a friend's C63 P31 for about a week.

Compared to the E30, the M235i is far better in the snow and rain. That said, the E30 with an open diff is pathetic.

Compared to the MK7 GTI PP, the brake "torque vectoring" always got in the way of the LSD and couldn't ever tell if it was actually doing anything. I find the M235i is able to put down power better (but FWD/RWD debate blah blah blah).

Compared to the M2, the M235i doesn't put down power as well. Like the M235i, the brake system activates quite a bit. Should note that this M2 wore 275 section rear tires.

In the C63, it was very, very obvious that the LSD was working, especially in the rain. The damn thing would light up the rear at every opportunity. I imagine the C63 wouldn't go anywhere in bad weather.

In sum, the F22's brake system is very good.
