Agree... LSD is important in stock trim. And remember... IS-F is on smaller tires to boot. The sad fact is 'most' of the improvement... is honestly due to finally moving to Michellin tires... the car has always been as capable... but Bridgestone suck. There is a reason that every car that has claimed top honors... have one thing in common... Michellin Pilots!
CTS-V needed to do it... IS-F needed to do it... BMW has been doing it for sometime now.
I raced my IS-F... as is with no LSD... and still have the times to back it up... BUT I did put on 'D.O.T. Race Tires'... simply because I know the importance tires can make to an overall package.
Again... I love M3's... I typically flip my cars every 6 months... and so I wanted to try something new... I've really taken to the IS-F... and just haven't found a better car, that can do 'everything' so well... M3's are still very very nice cars... and the reason multiple makes sell... is because they fit peoples needs better for some than others.
