Ha! A Sarawakian I see. No wonder. Rich Sarawakians are extremely wealthy. I know coz I went to university with the TYT's grandsons. They themselves are wealthy as well, though not nearly as rich as you

I'm going to the UK to do my Masters and PhD but I'm sponsored by a local university and to get the E55, I'm going to work as well - lucky I have a well-paying occupation although very unappreciated in Malaysia.

If only I could move to Brunei heheheheh

Everybody can tell anybody their opinions, but in the end its the owner of the car that gets to choose what he/she wants right?

If somebodywants to put 24 inch, cubic zirconia encrusted chrome wheels on their SL, then let them...
Of course.... I am not telling anybody what to do. I am just giving the other side of the story that sometimes does not get talked about. Thats all.

And most definately I will not believe/tolerate them not putting in an LSD on a $185,000 car to save some cost. They did not even mention having an option of LSD on their cars. So I am sure it has to do with engineering issues thats rather quite serious. Benefits of LSD are huge and not putting one on, must have some ill effects that they know and we don't.
Maybe... I don't really know why there is no LSD. I am not even 100% sure that is true because some on the forum say it has it and some say it does not. I know that LSD's are not as smooth... its the only thing I could come up with but you may be right and there may be a mechanical reason. But if Kleemann is doing it, then it can't be mechanical. Obviously it can be done. I really don't know why its not there.
