Arrrrrgh!
Here I go again
Even the 545i doesn't have LSD!? This is a definite

It is the ONLY thing that may prevent me from getting another E60
unless I pony up the $$ for the almighty M5.?

My Ride: Now Driving a Freakin' Prius!
Was...
2004 545i | SMG | White/Black | Sport | NAV | Logic 7 | PDC | Fold-down Seats | Adaptive Headlights | Cold Weather Pkg | Clear-again Bra | Mud Flaps | Bluetooth | Coat Hangar | Aux Input | All Weather Mats | 18"X8.5" BBS RK w/ Michelin Pilot Alpin's (winter) | New steering rack @ 1.2K & 17K miles| Software V.19.1 | B&B Exhaust (vrrrroooooommm!) <---Click.
Thanks donv,
Trust me, I Love my 545i but I really hate the fact that a car of this caliber doesn't have a limited slip! I can't wring all 10/10ths out of the car.
Either I am at the mercy of all of the electro-gizmos or I'm spinning one wheel (a-la '74 Chevy Nova). Granted for many, if not most, 9/10th's is more than "enough" but it does irritate me.
I actually find that it can create some unsafe conditions as the car is far less predictable at the limit.
Time for me to get off of my soapbox and sell a few more houses so I can get an M5.
