My Ride: 2008 535xiT (E61)
Black Sapphire / Black Leather / bamboo.
Steptronic, Full Aero Kit, 35% Tints. 18" Run Flats.
All the goodies short of Active Cruise, Comfort Access and the safty options.
2002 BMW R1150R. Red, Corbin, PIAAs, Fiamm,
First I want to say I know that this is technically not a BMW.
My wife and I right now are on vacation outside of Cabo San Lucas in Baja Mexico. I've rented the Mini Cooper S, 6 speed and I'm blown away!
This thing is just tons of fun to drive. With DSC turned off the wheels easily break free in the first three gears, and it has plenty of torque and power (within reason). But power is not what this is about, the car corners and handles like a go-cart . With the top down, the whimsical styling and the performance you just don't want to pull over at the beach. I've "accidently" missed our hotel turn off at least 4 times now.

You are right, but you forgot to say that the Mini CooperS is so because it was made by BMW.
For second, the stock MCS can't keep up with a modded one: mine has new -17% pulley.
This is my Mini, with new pulley and filter:
I will make catback exhaust, catalyst and headers for +20/25 HP more.
On strict curves (mountain) the MCS is faster than every E60.
