From a hardware standpoint, we could really use a rear LSD. That is why M Gmbh put one on the x5/6m.

Software, wise I think we're close. On a road course, it is a bit intrusive on corner exits. For the strip, if we could disengage it mid second gear, that would free up power (essentially just launch control).
