It's nice to see that MINIUSA has responded to this and is releasing a fix. Now, what I'd like to really see if a fix that impacts more than 1% of the MINI population, I suspect the 05 MCS + JCW is a pretty small subset of your customers. Finally, I just hope this "fix" doesn't introduce 3 new problems.
Actually, I think MINI should release specifics of errata for each version of the S/W so the customer can understand the tradeoffs. This happened for Intel with their processors, they now release all the data, and everyone is happy. For instance, it appears the emissions problem fix introduced the rough idle and the SAFETY ISSUE on hesitation. There are also reports of better gas mileage on the higway -- this is something I called my dealer about it as it was so pronounced for me, more than 5 MPG delta!
Let's hope the fix for the rest of us is in the pipeline and will be released soon, before someone gets hurt in one of these cars.
