I doubt BMW would give it any more power than it already has. I drove a 2008 Cooper S for about 2 weeks last month. I just LOVE how that engine pulls. I dont know what it is, but it feels faster than it actually is. The car did suffer a bit from torque steer? Did you just get use to it? | |

I have really no trouble with TS, you notice it but it is not like you are struggling to command the wheel.

| I have pretty much the same impression as Dr Dunkel. I test drove a Clubman S with sports suspension but without LSD last summer, and you could really feel the torque steer on that one. In my hatchback S, with both SS and LSD, there's practically nothing... |

| I did never know that the pretty gentle LSD could do that much difference. It has also been great this winter, no problem getting out of snowed in parking lots and such. Another great thing is that it is the cheapest way to get a BMW Group vehicle with an LSD, the next step is a BMW M3 :-)
