I think if I had a clutch type LSD I probably wouldn't have had as much of an issue with the e90 sway.
A daily through the blizzards, there's some fun right there. Or not. Have driven in whiteouts in central Illinois, absolutely zero fun.

Interesting observation about the LSD type and its interaction with the ARB. I've had a couple of instances of wheel spin on the track during weight transfer over the top of a chicane while turning that leads me to believe the stock rear ARB is too stiff to allow all the traction the car's capable of. How that'd work on the street though isn't really clear. Luckily no blizzards here although most drive like there is if the sky clouds up...
