I was looking on Google and found a company called Bavarian auto sport that sells these coil overs (also eBay). I contacted Bavauto, and they said they only fit 2002. Just wondering if up to 04/2002 is different than 05/2002-2006. They said mounts were different but no other details. Anyone?

 

there is a difference in the first year, mounting position and the shock shaft are different, thats what i can remeber off the top of my head,

 

To make it more complex....mini changed many of the early 2002 cars to later suspensions in regular warrenty visits when the cars were fairly new....but many early cars never made it to dealers cause dome folks lived HUNDREDS of miles from dealers.....
