(They thought it was crash-box); I defer to anyone who shifted one 'normally' as: better informed than moi. And they. Unless (some Were / earlier? some Weren't later) Do you know-fer-Shure? Sorta-sure ..they did not disassemble transmission. Kwazy Kar-lore! nearly as bad as Politics!

I think it is a feature of imported Euro motors - (scoenye) - (4) - June 3, 2020, 09:07:37 AM EDT

91 octane required might be "required". - (Another Scott) - (3) - June 3, 2020, 11:34:01 AM EDT

Check their "91 required" list - (scoenye) - (2) - June 3, 2020, 06:26:09 PM EDT

Yeahbut, so are VW Passats. ;-) - (Another Scott) - June 3, 2020, 11:50:47 PM EDT

Just had a quick look on Auto Trader UK - (pwhysall) - June 3, 2020, 09:01:04 AM EDT

Similarly (anecdotal) over n-years - (Ashton) - (6) - June 2, 2020, 03:37:44 AM EDT

That sounds like a Cooper S - (pwhysall) - June 3, 2020, 09:37:30 AM EDT

Good point - (crazy) - June 5, 2020, 12:02:18 AM EDT

Today I learned some Cooper drivers are frustrated BMW drivers. - (mmoffitt) - (1) - June 4, 2020, 03:43:56 PM EDT
