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.

That's just it, though, isn't it: the average entry-level luxury car lessee has never heard of an LSD, but they do know that AWD and all-season tires are standard today and so they must be good.
BMW makes M-cars for enthusiasts who want a car that comes with an LSD already installed. If we don't want or don't want to pay for one of those cars, then BMW offers the few RWD owners their M Performance LSD for a competitive sum when compared to the aftermarket alternatives. Buying a BMW with no LSD gave me a choice of diff types that I was happy to take advantage of.
