This is a whole different beast, where inside the eDiff you have clutch packs that can control wheel spin at each wheel very precisely. It can still torque vector like above in addition to the eDiff control.
Well said, though I would not actually call our electronical M diff an E Diff, because the E82 135i had something called an E Diff at that time and that was more kind of torque vectoring as I recall.

McLaren also make use of TV 'diffs'. I though Porsche too(?), some models.

Yep, the P1 has an open differential
