While I applaud the fact that a proper mechanical LSD might be an option (even better if it's a tick-option when new) rather than just a likely very expensive dealer fit option, I'm still not convinced it's a step up from an E82 135, *IF* the M235 (as suspected) retains the electric steering of the current F* M135 and has the ZF auto option rather than a DCT option.

I'm hoping that the phrase M2 'unlikely' and M235 'surprises' means that the M235 might get proper hydraulic steering and DCT options, as well as that LSD.......

If so, BMW will get my money.......if not, my money will go elsewhere when the time comes to replace my E82 135i.
