This forum is aimed at classic minis. You would be more likely to get the answer if you join one of the forums dedicated to BMW minis.

No problem, google BMW miniforum and I am sure something will come up. There are a few but i can never remember their names.

But if it helps, the gearchange on the R53 Cooper S is always stiff. It's a very strong Getrag gearbox but not the most satisfying to use, they always feel a bit notchy.

 

My 2005 S and all the R53s I test drove felt the same. I wouldn't describe it as 'vague' though.
