535d sport touring- is an LSD available as factory extra?

Daily use of the Hawkeye STi isn't going to well- so I'm going to look for a 535d sport touring today.

Did the sport models come with LSD's, or was there a factory option? Don't want to waste my time looking for one with an lsd if there aren't any...

Thanks.

They didn't come with a mechanical or viscous LSD, just a pusedo 'LSD' through the DSC system applying braking effect on spinning wheels I beleive combined with accelerometer inputs. It's certainly more effective than the DSC+ system in my '02 530D M-sport touring which is a right spoilsport...
