… comparing a 2005/6 and 2007 MINI key …
I think the original 2002/3/4 key is still the nicest! But these keys “go faster” 🙂
UPDATE:
The new “key” is a little annoying … with the traditional key you have basically a single action to start the key: insert and turn the key. Similarly when you stop, you turn and pull out the key.
With the R56, you insert the “key” then separately push the START button; OK the button is near the “key hole” but it’s still a separate action. Worse, to stop you push the button, then push the “key” and finally pull the “key” to remove it. All rather un-necessary really!
