well westcoast the reason i'm looking for a mini its size and the way it looks same time money and also the 135 got the same spirit from inside like e60 
but the mini feels different interior and exterior this doesnt mean the 135 is not a small beast but its i feel like e60 and 135 interior are close to each other and u wouldnt feel that u bought something new right

I don't know how the mini with automatic gearbox drives but I do know the 6 speed and I can tell you that even after a year of driving the thing still gets a smile on your face every time your driving it. Especially in corners there is almost nothing that can keep up with it.
Put the ALTA performance intercooler,exhaust and ecu remap on it and you have a little rocket with 1 hp per 11,4 lbs or 4,8 hp/kg (550i 1hp per 11 lbs)

Definitely get the S in Manual. it is an awesome car. One of the most fun cars to drive. It comes close to my Cayman. Yes I've owned a MCS before.... so I'm not just giving you fluff.

I have an 04 Mini Cooper S MC40 1 of 1000 in a 6 spd.
I love the 6 spd - it rides harder than any of my BMW's as far as suspension, but its definitely fun to drive!
Go 6spd.
Which one are you going for 2007+ turbo or 2002-2006 S/C?
