I do see some very nice improvements in the 05 MINI, such as side window visors (the front visors are pitifully too small), more integrated and front-mounted MFSW buttons (but where are the horn buttons?), coin tray, key fob, larger door pockets, etc.

I notice that there are two toggle switches for front and rear fog lights (MINI has finally listened to it's owners requests). Mine, being the older model, has a dummy button and I have labelled it "Reverse Thruster" (one up on you 05 owners)

Did your MINI One give you 2900 rpm at 70 mph? Must be pretty tall gears. My MC hits about 3500 rpm at 70 mph on level ground on 5th gear, so it doesn't seem to differ from the 05 model.

All in all, nice improvements, and I envy you.
