Here's what it means if you are like me an like to modify cars:

In my 2010 n54 335i, I added a tune, downpipes, intake, and a water/meth injection system and made 412/446 RWHP/TQ. I also had coils and larger wheels/tires running 275/30/19s in the rear.

With the added power, I couldn't get traction off-the-line and needed to feather the throttle starting in 2nd gear (with the 6 speed auto trans) to get a decent launch. Still, my 0-60 times as measured on my V-Box were between 4.2 and 4.5 seconds. Not bad but not good considering the power I was making.

So I picked up a Wavetrack LSD and it just transformed the car. I could do 0-60 in under 4 seconds ever time, even when it was damp/wet outside. My best time was 3.5 seconds and mostly was in the 3.7 to 3.8 second range doing nothing more than just flooring it from a dead stop in 2nd gear. No brake boosting and I didn't even need to warm up the tires.

Also, as other posters mentioned the performance on the track was much improved, particularly coming out of corners.

The LSD is a must have and I'm only considering ordering the M 235i with the M-Sport package (supposedly comes with the LSD according to Jason's 7-22-13 post).
