I'm out of the MINI loop. Any updates on the AWD MINI "Crossman" or other AWD MINI flavors?

They say it is coming out and will be be overpriced to match the rest of the lineup.

I don't know if you can call the MINIs overpriced if people insist on paying the price - at least until recently.

BMW has been doing a good job recently of configuring options to suck the most amount of money out of your pocket. :)

Is that what is referred to as 'de-contenting'? I think it is.

Warning: Link goes to a PDF. But it's worth it.

I read that when it was first published in '05. RWD / AWD Mini retrofit? I'd buy it ........

After I found a junked mini for a few grand.

An AWD Cooper S? Yes, please.

That data is fantastic. I really wish Getrag would package that system up for production. Aftermarket support would be sweet. AWD Metro? RWD Swift? Yes please!
