Take it from someone that has it. It's all a load of hype.
A skilled enough driver can achieve the same result without using it.

I've used it three times in the 7 months I have had my car.
The first time was just to try it out.
The second time was shortly after the first time because after looking so forward to using it, once I'd actually done it all I could think was "is that it?" So just to make sure I had to do another one.
The third time was just recently to show someone what a load of overhype it actually is.

Unless you are using LC in something over 400bhp it's a bit pointless.
Have used it in two different F10 M5s and in about half a dozen E60 and E63 M's. They are cars where LC actually makes a difference and you can feel the benefits of it. In our cars I think BMW have used it as a marketing tool. It's there for the sake of being there.
