LSD option

Im in the process of buying a C63 and wanted to know how the car is without the LSD. I have a 335 now without LSD and miss it. The new 135 BMW has an electronic version and it pretty nice.

How are the C63's without a true LSD. Still smooth when hanging the Tail out.

Also is 3,500 off MSRP a fair deal ??


Thanks.

I wasn't sure if I should try and find a car with LSD or just be happy with what the dealer has on the lot. 98% are without the LSD option but it sounds like it must have the new electronic version that many manufactures are using.

Thanks.

for a car that has that much power, get an LSD. Electric LSD's are basically open diffs that applies the brake on the inner wheel, and it wastes power and is in no way close to what a mechanical LSD does.

You can powerslide, leave marks with both tires from burnouts, etc...

I don't have LSD and I don't even notice it. Car feels GREAT

There is no excuse for a car with over 450hp not to come with a LSD as standard equipment

and especially from a car company that has a "performance" division like AMG. Its pretty embarrassing.
