The real review comes from the 1st customer that takes it to the track. Not to mention that most of the "reviewers" don't really know how drive those cars... making the tires squeal and going fast are 2 different things.

Haha, yes exactly. But it would have been nice to read "We asked BMW why there wasn't an LSD, since the Audi S4 has it, and they said... [something]."
Seems like BMW naturally wanted to keep the cost as low as possible on these final tweaks.
BTW, I'd love to see a magazine actually go a comparo of some really obvious mods, like tire changes, and an LSD, for example. (But I realize they need someone to fund that...) It's silly when they talk about how much grip certain cars have, or don't have, when you could just swap out the tires and get awesome numbers very easily.
