Hey Richo, From the research I did the Cooper had the CVT with the steering paddles becoming an option in 2005, the Cooper S has the real 6 speed auto as the CVT couldnt handle the power?? I even tried entering the VIN into the BMW VIN decoder of a Cooper and a Cooper S (both Park Lanes) and both just listed as Steptronic Autos (the CVT also had a Steptronic option).
Personally I believe the Cooper S will be the real 6 speed auto. After driving both I can tell the difference, the CVT changes gear really weird with higher revving between "gears"
Hope that helps, Dave.
