| torque steer in Cooper S? Having owned a Saab 9-3 for a bit, I'm curious how bad the 'torque steer' is in the Cooper S. Since I won't be able to test drive one of these badboys for a LONG long time, any comments much appreciated. Tony  |

| Original Austin Morris Cooper S? Pretty darned bad - I reckon on a two-foot jump sideways every time I scream away from traffic lights on the redline. The new MINI? (Which is what I reckon you're on about) - should be nil - at least according to BMW. The equal-length drive shafts and ASC-T ought to see to that. Ordered my "S" August '01. Arrived July '02. EB with white roof, wheels and stripes, Chili pack, DSC and climate control. Hate those 17" runflats though. Can now be seen all over the West Midlands, as a blue blur passing everything at speed  |

| I agree, equal length shafts should do the trick!  Waiting, officially, since July 12, 2001. C'mon July 2002! Indi Blue Cooper S, White roof, Bonnet stripes, Lapis blue leather, Premium, Sport, and Winter packages. Is December here yet? |

| heys amigos!! there should be NO torque steer since BMW made both shafts the same length and they state that there is none?!! We'll see when it arrives here. |
