Any performance car with more than about 200 hp, that weighs 3000+ lbs should have an LSD IMHO. I get it, its a hard thing to explain to consumers and make them care about, but it really takes just one drive at 8/10ths or so to see just how beneficial they are.
My shitty lemons car with 105 hp has an open diff and even with that tiny ass power level and even though it's rear-wheel drive on extremely sticky track rubber, it spins its inside right rear tire in third gear when exiting corners. Super annoying.

Agreed. "Positraction" LSDs have been around in various forms for over 60 years, and it astounds me that BMW doesn't even offer it as a factory option these days in it's M Sport cars with engines producing well over 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. It just indicates that BMW isn't really serious about the performance of these cars. ESPECIALLY when considering that Honda puts helical LSDs as standard equipment in $25k Civic SIs (as I previously mentioned).
