New MCS - Clock and Turn Signal Stalk Problem?

I've had my MCS for about a week and a half now and have only noticed a few little problems. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

My turn signal stalk sticks when I make a lane change. When I push down on it to make a left lane change, but don't push it all the way as if you're making a full left turn, it sticks and won't return unless I give it a little budge. When I press down on it all the way to make a left turn, it cancels like it should. I've noticed this when making a right lane change too, but it isn't as pronounced. Anyone else have this problem? Does anyones turn stalk operate smoothly and not stick in any way?

Now for my clock. I notice that sometimes the "AM" or "PM" flicker at times. I also noticed this past weekend that not all of the digits were displayed on the clock. It almost looks like a loose connections, but today it's working fine. Anyone?

MCS, DS/B, All Options and JCW!

I had this on my new MCS, but with my new 'see how it goes' attitude, I didn't bother mentioning it.

Now it's worn in a bit, it's fine. I guess they're tightening stuff up to stop the rattles and squeaks?

I had the same experience with the turn signals, but after 2,500 miles, it seems better or I've just gotten used to it.

Either way, it's such a very minor annoyance, compared to the earlier problems, it wasn't worth mentioning.

My turn signal lever does the same thing. I just figured after it wore in a bit, it would take care of itself. And if not, I'll look at putting a drop of lube down in there.

My clock doesn't flicker.

Gotten anything useful from MINI2? How about giving a little something back?
