Block Heater, or Oil Pan heater?

I am going to be ordering my Cooper S in January. I live in Winnipeg however, and it gets COLD here in the winter. -35 without the windchill. with the windchill it gets to -45 and colder. Even the best cars can have a rough time starting when it's this cold. I was just wondering if MINI canada fits an oil pan heater, or a block heater to help with the cold starts?

Thanks!
-Steve

Well, you won't get an answer from us guys here in Vancouver

Have you asked your dealer about this yet? You might want to ask them first.

Ottawa Guy and HarryIndiBlue seem to be the most savvy Canadian MINI owners here when it comes to 'winterizing' a MINI, hopefully they will give you some valuable feedback.

You should also post your question in the General Discussion forum, as I think that someone should be able to give you an idea of what can be done, even if it isn't a region specific answer.
