In most cases I've found personal adjustment to be a highly effective solution.

 

Run the car in sport mode all the time now and what a difference in ride quality. Without sport mode the ride is bang bang crash using the sports seats. Suspension must adjust when steering locks down. Now this mini is a blast to drive.

 

From everything I have read, the only changes are to steering response and to throttle response. Could you just be getting used to it?

purely psychological mate, the suspension is completely independent and in no way electronically controlled.
glad you've gotten used to it ...
The sport mode does make a huge difference in how the mini reacts to throttle & steering input, I find the car sluggish & hard to drive/start-out (manual trans) without it in Sport mode.

 

My two "pet peeves" about the R56...

- Cheap wipers. Should have changed them sooner than I did, but when I did, I picked up the Reflex with WetTec at Canadian Tire... well worth the money. Only downer, the natural curve of the blade doesn't quite fit the windshield 100%, and misses the edge on the passenger side... no biggie though.

- Raining boot door. Similarly to the entry doors dripping, I find if I open the boot after the car sat outside in rain/melting snow, the water builds up behind the chrome belt line and due to the curve of the boot door, once I open it, the water pours out of the belt line at the edge of the boot door and into the boot. Solution - open the lid slowly... very slowly. Anyone else have another other ideas to fix this? (I'm concerned about sealing the edges though, in that a built up of water may cause the car to rust prematurely).
