hi..........
well i guess only time will tell. but there was the same sort of talk about the r53 when people first started modifying it.
i agree with what you are saying but what bmw (mini) say and what they do is a completely different thing!
at the end of the day, in the near future im sure quaife will bring a gearset out for it. or if needs be you could most likely swap out your box for this new one, doubt it wuold be much of a problem.
you could probally contact the gearbox manufacturer and ask what power they say is the limits of the box, i think (dont qoute me on this) they said they didnt trust the getrag (R53) box over 230ish bhp, but look at the power people have been putting through that.
i think we should give it 6months or so and see if we have any failures.
