However, no rear LSD on the BMW - very few have Subies have that, but a few do.
No subies are 90/10. They are all 50/50 except the STI.

They are also not FWD based systems. Those are derived from cars with transverse mounted engines. They are designed as AWD from the beginning. Subaru has a very unique AWD system.
