LSD Option on a Mini!

stefan · 05-22-2008, 11:21 AM

I was pricing a Mini Cooper S out for my parents, and to my surprise, you can order it up with an LSD as a $350 option!!! It's cheap, too!

Isn't that weird? I wouldn't mind that on our cars. BMW should take a hint from BMW.

If the 135i did not exist, I probably would've bought a brand new Mini, i love little sporty, FUN AS HELL TO DRIVE cars.

Stupid M car only policy is retarded when every other sports car on the planet has one.

Not all sports or sporty cars have it. You dont get one on a G37 unless you get the top model with the 6-speed manual, for example. It's one of those cost saving measures they figure most cusomers would never notice. The Mini is a serious FWD performance car though.
