Getting power down is the big issue now with so much torque at 1500-1800 RPM. That was a big problem with the 1M too. I actually found myself wishing for a slightly higher torque curb so the car could hook up, the accelerate. I think the LSD should be standard with this car, then they should put the M-Sport Full Lock unit in the M2.
I hear you; the M135 needs a LSD more than anything.
