James: If you're worried about keeping the warranty the LSD will most certainly invalidate any cover on the gearbox. I think most LSDs will alter the final drive.
That's really interesting - did you change anything else or just go with more power on it's own?
At first I thought it must be a faulty 35is (mine) - but drove half a dozen now & they have all been the same under power... weird. I see the issues that have been reported by just about every tester who had driven the car anywhere near the limit.... twitchy unpredictable swifts in the chassis / poor traction (at speed)... gearshift lurch upsetting the chassis under max load.... cornering lurch at speed... the lot. at it's worst it's like the front end of the car isn't connected to back end - press on hard & it tries to kill you.
Same road - same day - same speeds in a e92 m3 & no issue or drama.
You must have the 'good one'
My experience is that the stock car feels unstable when driven aggressively (only reason for more power surely is to drive aggressively?)... ah well... each to their own

The handling is unsophisticated I agree ... and takes getting hold of by the scruff of it's neck but it will do it. My Z4M Roadster was far easier to control but was slower. The run flats make it hard work. I think they are a significant issue. It skips and jumps but I have never felt likely to kill me. It just takes more effort than some more accomplished cars. It takes the power OK, will take some more but not too much IMO.
