LSD is it worth adding?

Asked by Guru22K9S Mar 04, 2020 at 10:33 AM about the 2017 BMW 2 Series M240i xDrive Coupe AWD

Question type: Car Customization

Just bought a 2017 m240 xdrive. The car is a little rocket and my daily driver. Is it worth getting a
limited slip differential.  Costs about 2k.  Or a torsen diff. I’m not going to the track. Just high
speed freeway driving and runs in the countryside on weekends.  I can get warranty if I do this at
the dealership.  It sure if I go elsewhere.  Previously I had a 2004 z4 3.0 and a 2010 323 manual
rear wheel drive. Just traded both for the m240. No issues with either car. Loved the. 323. The z4
was fun but not comfortable. My kidneys still hurt. Anyhow if someone knows about lsds I wouldn’t
love to hear from them and thanks in advance.

Probably not worth it unless you're tracking the car, but that's ultimately your decision. $2k is steep if you're only driving on the highway for the most part.
