Is the factory LSD gear operated or does it have plates or clutches?

There are plates rubbing against eachtother in it, no gears (see picture).
The MINI LSD is often referred to as a Mickey Mouse LSD by people I know and drive with on the Nurburgring. It doesn't last long there. I know someone who had his LSD replaced three times.

No, quaife is an aftermarket company. I'm betting their diffs are too race oriented, or rough, to be put in a bmw product anyway.

Thank everyone for your replies!
From what 2BeeMini2 says the factory LSD isn't too good. So how does the DTC and EDLC work? Would they be better? I'm interested in getting a Mini Clubman S and wondered if that feature would be worth it?
Thanks...
