No LSD and no (semi) floating brakes on the 35is.
Both are now (well, since almost 2 decades) 'aquired technologies' for a true 'M' model.
So if they'd call the 35is an //M it would be a sub par //M for the people who have in depth knowledge on automotive tech.
It should have been in the M performance lineup if you transpose it to the current lineup.
Just like the e82 135i.
But so would every sub top model of previous generations.
