Suspension or LSD?

Hi All

I've got a 2012 535d.

I ordered it with mixed 19 inch wheel and the factory M Sport pack, so lower springs and the rest of the bits that includes. Its also got active 4 wheel steer , but standard non-adjustable shocks

Early in its life it was fitted with a Hartge ECU that transformed it substantially. Snappier performance, more power and way more torque with better fuel economy.

Now its gots some 200,00kms on it and we've decided to keep it a few more years, I'm doing more.

I've just put some Breyton Fascinate flow formed wheels on it as our Aussie roads have smashed two of the original alloys. All up they're about 20kg lighter too which is a nice plus.

I've ordered some Hamann and AC Schnitzer aero bits for it to make it look a little different to others down here instead of just replacing the stock bumpers and BMW carbon splitter.

I've read heaps of rave reviews here and elsewhere about both KW suspension upgrades AND Limited Slip Diff upgrades transforming the handling of an already pretty good car.

Anybody done both?

In which order?

Suggestions on which will give the best bang-for-buck experience would be appreciated.

Thanks!
