The M235i does drift surprisingly well with an open diff with provocation, but given your use (presume you spend the summer months on two wheels?) i can see why you'd be frustrated with it.
And i agree, the electronic ABD is less than helpful and does not replicate an LSD at all, hence i turn traction fully off and go from there.
Yup, that much wheelspin (or the traction control pulling power) can be dangerous when you're going for a gap in traffic. Sounds like you do need that LSD smile
Yes, I use an R1 over the summer and the M135i gets most of its miles done in the winter grime.

When the time comes, I'll be either moving back to M cars or abandoning them in favour of Porsche. I can't bear to throw money at the M135i for the little time it has left with me.

Then you can start discussing the modern electric power steering gripes, the long gear ratios or maybe almost having too much grip for fun.
