According to the miniusa.com site, both MINI models have suddenly gained significant weight.
When the site was recently updated the weight of a Cooper S went from 2513 to 2678 lbs. - a gain of 165 lbs. (about 75 kg).
And a standard 5 speed Cooper went from 2315 to 2524 lbs - a gain of 209 lbs. (about 95 kg).
So, what happened? Incorrect numbers supplied before, or modifications to the US-spec?
