I'm a fricken idiot.
Is it electronic? ESP maybe?

Wouldn't a LSD be an active solution while ESP is passive?

M5's is a mechanincal LSD that is electronically controlled

MB's is an electronic passive method of mimicking the function of an LSD - but it is not nearly as efficient as it does not redistribute power but brakes the power on the wheel that is slipping ... an active LSD is much more efficient.

I understand that, I'm just wondering if the BMW one is an active 100% LSD.

Wouldn't that be, beyond driveable? Or am i thinking of something other M5 product.

Yeajh 100% lock up means u can only go in straight line ... I guess thats what they mean by launch control... But dunno for sure.
