    No limited slip diff? Seems like an odd choice to me. Is there a technical reason for this, or just a cost saving measure, like dropping Pure Silver on the MCS?

    I'm going to go with cost savings as they have that e-diff thing that they are using BMW's and I think some MINIs. For 99.9% of the people out there the e-diff is fine. For the hard core track guy using the brakes to limit torque to a wheel is going to mess with the balance.

    questionable.............

    they should just start making r53s with regular tires for 2010, that way i wont be to afraid of racking up the miles on mine.......

    wouldnt that be nice

    instead there giving the mini one ball instead of two, how degrading

    I always wondered what people meant all these years when they talked about making a "one-ball mod"...now I know! :ihih:
