But even without electronics you are fast. That's because M cars have a limited slip differential although they are equipped with ASC/DSC. Just look at AMG or Brabus... without traction control all they do with their power is burning up rubber on the inner wheel in a turn. Good for safety but it doesn't make you fast.

Also note worthy is the fact that BMWs that have limited slip have a different programming of the ASC+T system. It will allow more slippage that the LSD will counter effect. This is VERY noticable on say an E36 M3 contra a 328 in the wet. Same goes for the Csi versus the Ci.
