However, no rear LSD on the BMW - very few have Subies have that, but a few do.
All manual Subarus have center differentials and a 50/50 split (STI is 45/55). The only subarus that are 90/10 are the base model 2.5 NA automatics. Even the high end autos (3.6R) have VTD which is a planetary center diff.

My 08 WRX 5MT has a viscous coupling center diff and VDC traction control.
My old 05 WRX 5MT had a viscous coupling center diff and a rear LSD.
