ECU version timeline

Can anyone assist this thread and give their ECU version and month/year build of your MINI so we can get a timeline started?

My MINI's build date was 5/03 amd I'm pretty sure I have v.32. I have had no yo-yo problems as of yet (praise the MINI gods!) . It seems like there are all sorts of problems with throttle response from the newer versions

I was thinking of adding a WMS throttle body (numerous other mods already in place) but definitely don't want the flat spot OR yo-yo effect. Any recommendations for or against?

If you don't have the stumble when trying to release the clutch when taking up drive in first, then you probably have 36. Don't forget that the "version" number is not actually the number of software versions, but the cd# that is shipped to dealers. It can have changes for other models or just the diagnostic equipment and nothing new for your model.

Is there any place MINI lists all the changes for each software update? I know for BMWs they have SIBs w/ all the updates listed, but haven't found the same w/ MINIs
