Will an M235I LSD bolt in to 228I?

I'm looking into an M perf LSD from and M235i (2016) - can get a killer deal. My car is a '14 228i Msport THP. Everything I've read points to just bolt it in and and go... axles and all are the same. Can anyone verify that? Thanks.

I thought the M235 and the 228 had a different Final Drive ratio. Wouldn't that cause problems?

I would get a Quaife or Wavetrac, something mechanical so I don't have to worry about worn clutches or any kind of maintenance. And those are what BMW uses in motorsport also, not the M performance.
