Too bad there is no lsd, but I think it's for a reason and BMW won't let us down!

The car is desperately looking for a LSD.

^^ Look in the vid when it is accelerating out the corner, the inside wheel is turning like crazy. The E30 M3 doesn't have high torque like this one, an open diff can easily provide enough traction for even the 2.5 stroker version as well as better steering feel to the car.

It really looked better on TV in action than i thought it would! Much more elegant and better than the normal 3 series.

cool car, could barely hear the turbos though..shame...the only reason i can think of for not putting an lsd is marketing...if it had one it would probably be as much fun if not better to drive than the next M3, given that its going to be heavier cuz of its engine(evo mag says the straight six weighs 70kg less than a v8 of similar outputs)

M3 did have an LSD as far as I know. Even my car which is an E30 325is has an LSD.
