Different...
In 2005 MINI dropped the trouble prone midlands 5 speed and switched to the 5 speed getrag.......they are NOT interchangeable from my understanding...there is a different number of splines on the axles/halfshafts.....

...............The MC also had similar tweaks that resulted in slightly more torque and better power power throughout the range. However the biggest change to the drivetrain of the Cooper was the introduction of the Getrag 5-speed gearbox in place of the problem prone and rather ancient Midlands manual unit. The new gearbox produced better feel and real feedback – a big step up indeed............
