Do you know if it has LSD?
I tried to decode the posted VIN, but it doesn't make sense. Doesn't mention JCW at all, says that the car has glass sunroof.

It doesn't have an LSD. I don't think that was even an option for the earlier factory JCWs.
Not sure what decoder you're using. It's a JCW.

More info can be found here.

The JCW gets all that increased power to the ground by way of a beefier clutch, a slightly modified transmission and BMW's Electronic Differential Lock Control (EDLC). This device slows the spinning wheel(s) through the brakes, like a more refined version of traction control, and sends more power to the wheel with traction. It's a lot like a limited-slip differential, but without the torque-steer.
