Whats the purpose for having ASC & Ltd Slip Diff? (archive)

Posted by Q on November 26, 2000 at 14:53:04:

The history sheet on my 91 735iL says that it has ASC, EDC, and limited slip differential. (ASC & EDC were obvious
because of the buttons...the LSD came as a surprise) If ASC reduces engine power when it detects wheel spin...and
the limited slip differential is allowing the wheel with traction to turn when the other wheel has lost
traction...isn't this sort of redundant? Which one has priority when slippage is detected? Or does the ASC only kick
in when both wheels slip and the LSD kicks in when only 1 wheel slips? I know there is probably a good reason to
have both...so can someone please educate me?
