BMW Toying with Offering Diff for M135i?
I follow Chris Harris on twitter. Tomorrow I believe he should have his video of M135i vs A45 AMG. I am excited for it because I am considering a M235i or CLA45 AMG
He's been talking to the man behind the M135i according to his twitter, and today he posted

I guess both BMW and Porsche know that a smaller and lighter car is faster and more fun to drive. They do however want to sell a bigger, heavier and more expensive car.

I agree with the Cayman vs the 911, because the car size wise is so damn similar, but M135i vs an M3 is a different category of car...

The F20 is actually bigger than the original M3 (E30). |

well to be honest, the M5 is doing fine even with the m3 around. BMW need to take the sales where they can, MB aren't holding back on their baby amg, BMW can't muck around with this

Sorta like how the 335i is considered equal to the S4, which is laughable because the S isnt only as good as a best 3 series! |

Have you seen a 981 parked next to a 991 in real life? Size is the biggest difference.

I don't believe that BMW is going to introduce a real lsd option vs. electronic differential to their non M cars, not in this generation. First of all, it would hurt the upcoming M2 sales.
But of course if they did not make up their minds 100% about the M2 yet (oh yes, you never know) and if they still consider not offering one and instead keeping the M3/M4 as their only compact M car, then maybe this rumor has something to do with that idea...which won't be good news for crowds waiting for the next M2. My bet, M2 will be produced and this rumor of an aftermarket lsd will go to nowhere, at least till next generation. It may just be wishful thinking.

This is not the same as a Mazda 3 vs mazda 6 decision... which is what a 1 series to a 3 series is... |

The Cayman has grown to be rather big. It even has a longer wheelbase than the current 911.

If BMW make an M Performance LSD should be expensive, however saying that I would buy it.
Someone finally did install the Qualife LSD: http://www.birdsauto.com/content/tes...f21-m135i-mr-b
