folding

According to a recent post at MINI2 It looks like this often rumored feature will finally be coming to worldwide MINI parts counters in the way of a retrofit kit soon. A pretty cool gadget and actually useful for those of us living in tight urban spaces. It's been availble in Japan for awhile now but aparently will be available in most of the outside world soon. Of course judging by the fact that this option is available on BMWs worldwide yet not on US spec BMWs I can only assume this will not be an easily purchased item at US parts counters. Lets hope we can at least get the chance to get our hands a la the parcel shelf.
