as i said, these units are quite ok. if you think it is the right one for you and it has enough biasing capacity on coast, get it!
i generally don't like gear type units that much because they are not able to lock up the axle at all. it is no locking but a biasing differential. it feels pretty different. so speaking of "lock" concerning a wavetrac is wrong. just do some research on that or ask dana directly ;-)
a 335i also feels different from a M3. two worlds...

Yes, but we raised on wheel of a 335I with wavetrac entirely off the ground. When gas is applied it not only transferred power, but the vehicle moves. That's the only LSD I've ever seen that can do that. This simulates all zero load conditions as well. Yet to see OS giken, or Drexler replicate the same feat.
