		<description>&lt;p&gt;I have MINI ONE 09/04 Reg.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Big.crashing prob when selecting reverse.BMW/Dealership say &quot;characteristic&quot; of Getrag 5sp box fitted from July 04.Say I must live with it and suggest &quot;Double declutching&quot;I think BMW not being totally &quot;honest&quot;about technical cause and possible &quot;fix&quot;.They have talked of layshaft &quot;spin down&quot; time beind long owing to use of synthetic gear oil ,also mentioned lack of synchro on reverse?.Any gearbox buffs out there who can give me insight into actual engineering/technical reason for this prob?.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Have you had any experience in driving a MCS that spun a wheel say on cornering, an inside tire, or from starting where the lsd really would have helped?  And if so, did this happen often?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Do you think the lsd is a must have for a daily driver that will not be used for racing but certainly for spirited driving?&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Chris - this story is quite old thus the numbers here are in reference to MINI&#039;s original info about the US spec 2005 MCS.  Since then we&#039;ve reported on the changed HP numbers.  Also LSD will be an option (not standard) on cars produced &lt;strong&gt;after 1/05&lt;/strong&gt; (news &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.motoringfile.com/2004/05/14/miniusa_officially_announces_2005_changes&quot;&gt;we broke last May&lt;/a&gt; incidentally).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For reviews of the MP3 playing stereo search for MP3 in the search bar above.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Just an an FYI... the 05 MCS does have the 6 spd... the HP bump is at 168hp... and somehow manages to drop the 0-60 down 1/10 sec. (6.8).  It does come standard with the LSD - very nice addition! And the stereo now has MP3 capability - both the standard and the HK. Mine should be in at the end of this month!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I really do like the 05&#039;s headlights. I think they look a lot more modern and hi-tech than the older ones. I just went to the mini dealership and got my mom to buy an 05 hyper blue cooper s fully loaded. Chrono gauges, chrome grill, harmon kardon sound all the good stuff. I was told that the dealership will have the car in beginning to middle august so I can&#039;t wait to take it out for a spin!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey, I&#039;m 16 and getting the new 05 Cooper S. I live in AZ. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas where to get awesome bodykits, and where to find an center exhaust tip that&#039;s just one huge oval exhaust tip instead of the two little tips of a standard mini S&lt;/p&gt;
