Perhaps a Quaife LSD would be a better bet instead.

It is more than fast enough in any rational sense. Wanting more power isn't rational though! In some ways I think the immense power is safer on the license... bear with me on this one! If one were looking enjoy a quick burst of 100mph+ speed (not me mind) then with a very powerful car you are looking at a few seconds of acceleration, speedo whizzes up, then lift and in a couple of seconds one would be back at legalish speeds. On a slow car (or even a mildly quick car) that 80-110 increment takes forever and one would actually be travelling for a long time and distance just to get up there. It's a bizarre logic I know...
With my other half being Polish we drive there once or twice a year so I do get to enjoy the Autobahn a few times per year at least!
I'm not so sure about the LSD on an xdrive tbh... not sure I would ever drive in such a fashion to notice or need it. Whereas slightly stiffer and lower springs and ARBs would hopefully had some extra poise and agility on all fast driving.
