I was at Tyrolsport last Friday and saw your car. What was the resolution to the "not-going-into-third-gear" problem?

ive worked for mini/bmw and never heard that one. doesnt matter how many they would do under warranty if any at all with the vehicle modded.

why did it take them so long to take a tranny out...they started at 10am and finished the next evening?

when i was at mini my 1 tech would do 2 a day.

Perhaps they were busy? They had at least at least 8 cars they were working on whilst I was there....

How long does it take you to take a tranny out?

Oh wait, nevermind, you're an expert at blowing up your engine...multiple times...right...
