230i - aftermarket differentials
Wasn't able to locate or order a 230i with the Dynamic Handling package despite my best efforts, so bought one w/ just M-Sport off the lot. Very happy with the car so far as a daily driver, but my only gripe is that it's a fully open diff AKA worthless for any kind of spirited driving, can't drift it meaningfully, can't do donuts, and drives poorly in bad weather conditions. Coming from a BRZ, I didn't realize how much I'd miss the limited slip differential - for me, it's either I get one installed onto this car, or I'll have to buy a second weekend car that has one for when I want to have fun; if I can't do parking lot donuts in the winter, I'm not truly alive.
Just curious if anyone has investigated performing a diff swap on one of these to get a proper LSD installed - don't see many options out there as of yet, and am wondering when the aftermarket will catch up.
