Did it kick in on the street when accelerating in the rain or around a corner? Or did the e-diff handle that?

Nope. Not from what I can tell.
They claim the G80 functions as a "light biased limited slip" in normal conditions.

MLocker (G80) Operation
During normal driving conditions, the MLocker (G80) functions as a light-bias limited slip differential. When a low-traction situation occurs that causes a wheel speed difference greater than 100 RPM, a flyweight mechanism opens to engage a latching bracket. The stopped flyweight triggers a self-energizing clutch system, forcing a cam plate to ramp against a side gear. Cam plate ramping will continue to increase until both axles turn at the same speed (full lock), which prevents further wheel slip. When the need for improved traction is gone - unlocking occurs automatically and the differential resumes normal operation.
