Thanks for the reply, It all sounds positive with the lsd. I have driven the e39 m5 so if it grabs the tarmac in a similar way then its deffo on the list for new year. I Just dont understand why bmw never gave the owners the choice of having a lsd even the 540 sport isnt fitted with one Because originally this was the machine i wanted but couldnt find a decent one at the time. I'm happy with my 530 sport and with the manual box all really missing is the lsd, i intend on keeping hold of it until i have the funds for a nice m5 obviously the e39 :rolleyes: Check this beast
