    I wonder how the software accomplishes this magical feat? If it momentarily cuts back on the torque until the need has passed, I'll probably stick with what I have now. At least until there is forum feedback on the results of the change.

    I agree, I do not need yet another electronic nanny trying to control my car while I'm trying to get it to do something else!

    Yeah, I think I'll let others try it first, or until I test drive a 2011.

    I expect this is more important to those with a stick, I don't see hardly any TS on my automatic Clubby S, and I can certainly modulate the throttle to cover what I do see.

    What did they change in the suspension design that makes it so much more apparent than on the R53?

    While I could get my '03 MCS JCW to do it, I really had to try!
