Does anyone know if the X3 35i has a limited slip diff in the rear?

Negative it’s open, bmw uses DSC to simulate an LSD using the brakes. The only option the F25 got was the “2VG performance control” I believe it was a more sport tuned DSC I’ve read it uses a torque vectoring system. Here’s a video on how it works

My brother and I both have the “2VG” option it seems to be more noticeable in the snow.. other wise I don’t think it’s that noticeable

Thanks for the info. Was wondering why BMW has two different oils for front and rear diff. I refused to buy the BMW stealer-ship diff oil and went with a synthetic hypoid non-LS oil. Should work fine for a simple non-LS diff.
