Bingo! That's what I meant by it bettering the e90 system by a large margin. I've mistakenly left the traction control either engaged or partially engaged during autocross runs, adn the car just bogs down. This 1er system should allow full throttle, and keep the inside rear tire from spinning.

What I wonder about is if it would allow for equal power distribution, and letting the rear step out, like a true locker would allow you to do.
