    MF was temporarily shut down by BMW; they were only giving five superlatives per paragraph instead of the mandatory ten. They'll have it sorted out in no time; a few "better in every ways" here and there will do the trick.

    They changed the URL for the feed.

    I used the new one but now get a consistent error message.

    MF XML Error: Undeclared entity error at line 55

    Looks like an issue on their end. I'll write them about it.

    Ah, you brush this off so lightly, but web traffic is important and threads on MotoringFile Feeds have been some of the most active on MA! Since the F56 release.

    MotoringFile has not fixed the RSS Feed.

    I've asked twice. Some before and after MTTS.

    Oh well.

    Maybe contacting BMW/MINI's press machine will get you results.
