I agree that the LSD should have been built a little stronger, though.

135i owners are finding out that their Brembo brake calipers crack severely (requiring complete replacement) under hard braking at the track.

I for one, am really going to track it. First oil temp issues and now differential issues? I GOTTA think Nissan is gonna make good on it in the not so distant future.

Coincidentally, the OTHER car I was interested in was the 135i, which also has cooling issues, and now brake issues? Perhaps I'll stick with my rock solid GTI for awhile longer...

I agree. I keep reading about new "sports cars" breaking at the track as well; I think I'll keep beating on my perfectly reliable Miata.
