That's not the case guys. With the clutch pushed down, regardless of whether or not hte engine is on, one can get the feel of a shifter. The same way that when you shift a BMW with the engine off you go "ohhhhhhhhhhhhh my" is the same way you can feel crappy shift linkage. I got there at opening time this morning, so the odds that both teh GLI and the 24v GTI had been screwed up during the first morning of the show in the 5 minutes before I got there are slim. The throws were too long also. IN addition, I could feel the shifter almost catch right before shifting into 2nd. Trust me, you'll feel it and know what I mean. THe magellan was not there as of this morning, but companies have been known to add various cars throughout the week whent they get back from more important car shows. No 25th Aniversary GTI. No Phaeton. Very dissapointing. Don't worry, you'll end up going across the path the Mini booth, drool, have an aesthetic orgasm, and then decide what your next car will be

FWIW, vehicle dynamics play a role in transmission shifting. No European has ever complained of the 6 speed Golf shifting. Audi TT owners don't complain about the 6 speed (this is the same tranny as the TT 6 speed). But, you sit in one at an auto show (by the way was this the same silver car that was in LA?), and you're ready to dis the tranny. As a show car, it might not be assembled to the same level as a production road car. No one knows exactly what this car will be like until they start arriving. But, most of us know it will be a better performing car than the 12V-5 speed.

Please buy your Mini. Let us know how you like dealing with the BMW when you blow up your Mini engine like you blew up your GTI. Also, let us know, in general, how you like paying BMW prices for parts and accessories.

Re: I was in a 6 speed 24v GTI VR6 today... (VeeDubDriver)
the only big problem i have is that in canada they are charging an additonal 3000 dollars for this engine above the price of the 12valve vr6. what i dont like is that they are really modernizing the vr6, its something they need to do to be competitive yet they raise the price so much. the 1.8T will be about 4500 less in canada and will have better fuel economy and perform nearly as well stock and with a 500 dollar chip , you know the debate
