In the process of picking out the spec for our Alpina D5 touring and can't decide if I should order the LSD from the options list, this car is for my wife as a everyday user dropping the kids off at school etc, but unsure if this is a important option to order - any advice welcome on must have options for this car, we are ordering this and intend to keep it 10 years + so want to get the options right

Thanks

This was covered recently on the Alpina Register forum...check out the link

I have a B3 bi-turbo without LSD and I feel this is the one drawback of the car. For normally pootling about town driving it isn't missed but when you try and press on a bit, it is noticably lacking.

I'd advise you to spec the LSD.
