I liked this line:

"Remember, this is on a speedometer big enough to be seen with the naked eye from outer space."

It's grown on me, though, and I'm looking forward to the change from my R53.

Thanks for posting this.

"Quieter and more relaxing" is NOT what I seek in an MCS. Aftermarket exhausts, anyone? I'm hooked on the burble....

Ditto...and I love how they've let it into the dash so nicely. The speedo on my R50 seems really small now.

Since this website doesn't work in Firefox, I know all of you guys are still using IE.

After viewing the review in IE, I see that the reviewer really hated the ergonomics of the much debated center stack. Hopefully, MINI will see the light and offer a chrono package in a couple of years so one can have a proper set of gauges. Overall, this was a nice, well balanced review - thanks for sharing!

Now the link works in Firefox!
