LSD on M Sport models?

sensible · 12-22-2015, 12:35 PM

I have recently bought an F30 LCI M Sport. I have heard that because of the DSC they no longer fit limited slip diffetentials to BMW except on 'M' cars. I would assume that this is only on M series cars such as the M3 and M5. Am I right to assume that a LSD is not fitted to M Sport cars? ( ....wishful thinking)

Do you mean from new or aftermarket?

No to new.

Yes to aftermarket.

I mean from new...so it would appear not.

I don't think they've fitted a LSD as standard on anything below a full blown M car since the E30 325i which I believe had one on some variants.

I think the first gen 135i also had an LSD

It is not advisable to take class A drugs while driving!

M Sport is nothing but a trim level.
