bmw and open differentials... i just don't get it.

Same here; I refuse to pay north of $45k for what is allegedly a high performance car and still be forced to pony up an additional $3k for a limited slip differential- especially when other manufacturers either include them as standard or else charge much less- see: Camaro SS, GTI, MX-5, Mustang GT, STI...
I'm well and truly sick of BMW's current "Want a BMW that actually DRIVES like a BMW? It's gonna cost you!" marketing strategy.

Getting close to $50K on a small 2 seater car is just going to drive me into a Cayman instead.

Cayman...

I can understand making an advanced torque sensing electronic limited slip diff optional but at the very least an old school mechanical limited slip diff should have been standard. I mean for God's sake even a Ford Mustang has a limited slip rear diff as standard equipment across the entire lineup. How sad is that there is some guy who thinks he's driving the ultimate driving machine because his Bimmer has the M badge but the chic in the V6 Mustang Convertible jamming to Taylor Swift at the light next to him has a more advance differential. And she probably doesn't even know what the hell a differential is or cares that she can do impressive burnouts.
