Cost cutting, at its finest..

There was a time on the new E92 platform, BMW stop using bolts and instead welded the differential gear carrier shut, to save on the cost of freaking bolts.

At a result, it made it difficult to install an LSD on a 335i or 135i, which desperately needed one due to its squirrelly back-end traction..

BMW historically have never been shy to cut corners, in the name of saving a buck..
