MINI OFFERS LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON 2005 MINI COOPER S AND MINI COOPER S CONVERTIBLE

12/08/2004

Enhanced Performance and Convenience Offered With New Options;
Updated Pricing for 2005 Model Year Takes Effect

Woodcliff Lake, NJ - December 8, 2004... MINI USA announces the availability of a limited slip differential and an automatic transmission as new options for the 2005 MINI Cooper S. In addition, a number of product enhancements and price adjustments across the 2005 model range take effect. Product changes are effective on cars produced January, 2005 and later, with new pricing effective on cars wholesaled after January 1st.

Limited Slip = Performance Grip
The MINI Cooper S and MINI Cooper S Convertible can now be optioned with a new limited slip differential, a performance feature coveted by motoring enthusiasts. The limited slip differential helps to divert more torque towards the drive wheel with better traction, ensuring power is transmitted to the road more effectively. This helps to increase traction under acceleration or during cornering, resulting in improved handling and increased stability.

The unit, manufactured by GKN Driveline, is a torque-sensitive differential that manages torque output under acceleration and offers a 30% slip rate. This means, there is no loss of torque if the difference in grip between the two wheels is 30 % or less. The system also allows the threshold for Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) to be increased without impeding the system's safe intervention in slippery situations. All of this benefits the enthusiastic driver of a MINI Cooper S at its performance edge. The limited slip differential is priced at $500 and is only available with the manual 6-speed transmission.

Automatic for the (Performance Minded) People
For the first time, the MINI Cooper S and MINI Cooper S Convertible will be offered with a six-speed automatic transmission including Steptronic mode and Steptronic shifting paddles on the steering wheel. Unlike the MINI Cooper Continuously Variable Transmission, this new automatic transmission has fixed gear ratios which result in quick gear changes and a dynamic driving experience tuned specifically to match the MINI Cooper S' sporty character. This new automatic transmission is built by Aisin and features the following gear ratios:

Transmission type
AISIN Automatic
Gear ratio 1st / 2nd / 3rd
4.044 / 2.371 / 1.556
Gear ratio 4th / 5th / 6th
1.159 / 0.852 / 0.672
Reverse gear ratio
3.193
Final drive ratio
3.683

The unit also features Adaptive Transmission Control which allows the transmission to adapt to one's driving style. For example, the transmission will build the revs longer between gear changes if it 'knows' the driver enjoys taking the car to its limits. The automatic transmission is priced at $1,350.

The MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper Convertible will continue to be offered with the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with Steptronic. The CVT works without holding to specific gear ratios, allowing the unit to variably adapt to the driving situation at any given instance. The unit offers smooth in-town 'gear changes' for leisurely driving and more dynamic responsiveness for spirited driving. The CVT transmission is priced at $1,300.

Pricing Changes and Product Enhancements for January, 2005
Separately, MINI USA announces a price adjustment effective for models wholesaled to dealers from January 1, 2005 onward. The base MSRP for the MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper Convertible increases by $501. The MINI Cooper S and MINI Cooper S Convertible base MSRP both increase by $500. With new product enhancements for the 2005 models, MINI continues to offer customers a compelling price/value combination and premium positioning.

New enhancements available for January, 2005 models onward include; a new 17" Web-Spoke alloy wheel and performance run-flat tire package. The package is a $1,100 stand-alone option on the MINI Cooper S and MINI Cooper S Convertible, or is a $500 upgrade when the sport package chosen on the S models.

A number of new convenience items are available, including an auto dimming interior rear view mirror for $200 and rain sensing front windshield wipers with automatic on/off headlights - also for $200. These features are also packaged together with the universal garage door opener - which also remains an independent option for $200 - to create a new convenience package, available for $400.

Please refer to the accompanying price sheet for additional changes and the latest 2005 pricing and option packages effective January 1, 2005.
