    What about the fact that on bumpy roads, it gets jerky?

    I called a dealer a while ago asking about this and they told me it was not possible. I'm planning on calling another dealer, is there a proper name for this when asking other than "electronic LSD reprogramming"?

    BMW/MINI's name for it is EDLC (Electronic Differential Lock Control).

    I had the factory LSD on my '07. No complaints here. I do like how the way the EDLC on my '15 cancels out the majority of the torque steer compared to the '07.

    I would think this would be the hot ticket to get done at the Dragon... Perfect location.... Get a "tweek", make a run, get another "tweek".... Make another run....:D
