Good to know they finally fixed it. Must've been a pain for existing owners. The 3.0 twin turbo is one hell of an engine.
I'd like to drive a JCW and an old S/C Mini S to get a feel for them, but the 6spd S turbo I drove was not impressive. To feel as much torque steer as I did with a low stock power output was unsettling. What happens when you crank up the boost? I don't want to find out. FWD ain't my cup o' tea, anyways.
