Hey all.. I'm new to the Mini, and am trying to learn as much as possible before I buy one. I've read a thread about the strut towers "mushrooming" that has me concerned.

Could someone explain what the problem is? Is this just an R53 weakness, or is it an issue that spans all models?

Thanks so much. This forum rocks!
