U see, my car is now slammed to the floor and I can't be making those twisties meet that wonderful Scott (sdg1871) plans for us anymore. Maybe I can but I'll end up losing a front bumper or side skirt. And girlfriend also LOOOOOVES the mini cooper S and IMO and her's too, the 2005 model looks the BEST! The newer style R56s are too flat/round in the front. Doesn't have the Mini look anymore and the steering wheel prior 2005 looks ridiculous. I know I will mod the HELL outta the MCS. Supercharged....here comes a boost controller or ECU remap! LOL. Some wheels, HID fogs, LED interiors, hehehe. I am looking at this yellow one with a black roof. Has navi and is a 6 speed! This probably handles better than my E60....with the proper suspension and wheels of course. Those DINAN stuff for the R53 is quite expensive. I am guessing there's a LOT more mods readily available for the MCS.

 

Let me know if you're going to the dealership to test drive one. I'll come along.
