As a recent owner of a cooper d I think it's a wonderful car but for a recent problem.every so often it has started jumping out of 1 St gear when trying to pull away so I was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue and what's a probable cause

Been mentioned a few times. Seems it affects several members here: http://www.minif56.com/forum/289-mi...sion/10626-cooper-s-jumping-out-1st-gear.html

I have not seen the issue myself.

Hi, Had the same problem with my Cooper S. Had been doing it since i first had the car back in April. Finally got fed up with it and took it to the dealers a few weeks back, turn out some of the gearboxes fitted were supplied to the wrong spec. Mine had to have a new gearbox fitted and now it runs like a dream. It did take 3 weeks to get the gearbox supplied and fitted but BMW hired me a 3 series whilst i was waiting.
