Is there any difference in performance between the R56 models without stop/start, brake regen, etc. and the models that do have these features? I'm curious because I read somewhere that the later R56s have the alternator decoupled from the engine for increased engine performance from standstill.

Anyone know?

In theory there would probably be a performance gain, but it's probably negligible, and not enough to feel a difference or change a performance statistic by as much as 0.1s. But I hope I'm wrong as I have one.

The first mini`s with stop start do not have brake regen, I have one.
