Strangely, my dealer is recommending a 325, all large engined cars depreciate particularly badly in Ireland......

If you get the 330i it will be less trouble for you when you wake up in the morning and have to decide between taking the mini or the BMW...

The MINI MCS JCW will always be wilder than even a 330! |

That would be a tough decison to make. I'd probably only take the 330 if I was traveling on the highway or carrying passengers. Otherwise, there's no matching the fun factor of the Mini.

i prefer a lighter colour interior, cos in this colour it looks a bit dull.

My MINI is a blast - the supercharger noise , handling and looks all combine to make a great package - and the 210 bhp helps too !
Jboo, I agree, the BM will be better for cruising......... MINI is for the B and C roads........

Pardon the repetition, but I am with noflash: Bring this option to the USA, preferably as part of a ZHP package, and make it affordable! On the other hand, why not be bold and just synch the USA with the rest of the world and offer us the M-sport package!

Just call it the ZHP for the E90.
Cloth available, black or silver m-cube trim, unique body panels, short shifter, suspension, cams or other engine adjustment. This time, put in a friggin limited-slip diff to go along with the electronic nannies. |

The US Coke tastes sweeter than the one in Japan, which is slightly salty. The one in China tastes super sweet, more than the US. How's South African coke? |

I'm with Ian: the limited slip is a great idea if the electronic nannies do not interfere. Add in symmetric front-rear wheel&tire sizes to reduce understeer, at least for the 330i ZSP. I can see the logic for increased rear traction with a 335i & M3, but I would bet the 330i handles better with 255/35s (or 225/40s) all around. Remember, we have to keep this affordable. The E46 ZSP was a bit pricey. And theoretically, the 335i is on its way, so the need for an amped 330i may only be temporary.

Yes, I think this car really needs a Limited Slip Differential!! I have already lost traction on the inside wheel several times when doing very tight corners under power. This is going to be murder on the autocross course!
