BMW is doing what it does best: sell cars buyers want at prices they're willing to pay. LSDs are irrelevant to that calculation unless the cars are M-cars, which ours are not.
You're right, they can get away with it, therefore they will do it. Especially with how good brake activated fake LSD's are these days.

So let me revise my statement: It's bonkers to me that the average entry level luxury car buyer doesn't demand an LSD on a relatively powerful, rear-wheel drive, sporty car such as the 230i/240i.
