this reminds me of when i bought my mini...ordered...
i literally drove off the lot, shifted into second, and GRIIIIND....
quick u-turn back to the dealer, they told me its nothing and to drive it itll get better...
a month later...same thing...now they said its my fault i wore it down...2 months later...wont replace it wont do anything, told me i dont know how to drive...to top it all off, when i went to test drive with the tech, the tech told me "you drive your car too hard, you need to baby this car and not send it over 4krpm's" lolllllllllll....
i took to a different dealer, the guy drove it for like a minute...came back...his words "sychros are f**d up"...2 days later, had a new trans in my car, and tons of apologies...

And you know this how???
Sounds more like some urban legend.... Unless you were a production manager at Mini, I can't see how anyone could possibly make a statement like it was "general knowledge".

That's why I said if he ordered the car.... however, if he just picked one off the lot and they have a similiar one, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a new car. I mean for God's sake, it's 1 day old.
4 days is definitely better than 12 weeks but still I wouldn't be happy.
