2013 Pooper S con manuel.

60k miles, one owner with Harman Kardon, Xenons, pano, Mini Connected (Non-Nav) and heated seats.

I believe the color coded roof is quite unusual and personally I’d like if it was either black or white with matching stripes on the hood, but that can easily be fixed.

Had to go to DC to get it but it’s really clean so I almost feel bad looking at tunes and a downpipe for it.

Also pretty simple, bulletproof, and light.

I'd avoid the new 1.5T Honduhs - lots of issues with fuel diluting the oil.
Oh do you have more info on this ? Curious to read about it

17s and non sport suspension is the best combo IMO. HK and Xenons are nice too. Great spec on this one. I love the way these drive.

Rear swaybar (I like the H Sport Comp), Good tires, and if you're fast-n-furious, a JB+ will add to what is already one of the best shitboxes available. Congrats!

Mini of Alexandria on Duke actually but not far from BMW.

Minis all over that place and during the test drive a woman in a yellow R56 non-S beeped at me and I was like wtf until the dillerman reached over and beeped back at her. :lol:

Ive thought about the JB+ but perhaps a Stage 1 tune makes more sense if I ever wanna go Stage 2 in the future.

DP with cat should make the pops occur more often too. :megusta:

Zero the toe and add whatever front camber you can.

And go :stig:
Worth doing the “free camber” mod by removing the guiding pin?

I’d like to lower it slightly but not sure if I wanna run springs on stock shocks.

Haha yep, mini’s are popular here. I see some enthusiasts here from time to time. My high school buddy used to have a r56 candem edition, with alta stage 3 iirc with a catless downpipe.

Also how does it feel driving :manuel: in my neck of the woods :lol:

pix 4 clix

Have a set of NM Engineering lowering sprangz (1.2”/1”) at home waiting to be installed together with an eBay FMIC.
Had a Milltek DP w/ high flow cat installed a few weeks ago.

Now, what toon should I get?

Manic is out of business so no tunes can currently be requested and don’t know how long it’ll be till it’s be resolved.
What other options are out there?

Rear sway bar? Is it really worth it for street driving and the occasional track day?

Bonus pix 4 clix from my trip to Japan back in May.

Get an alignment before a rear sway bar. My R56 with a good alignment didn’t need a rear sway bar.

Does RMW tune the second gens?

Had a quick look at RMW’s site and says “R56 custom tune with flash tool” - $800.
Dafuq? With deez modz, any generic tune should do and I’m too :scrooge: for a $800 tune..

1. Does anyone know how to get my Iphone into the center console phone holder? and :wtf: is it ? I have no idea how to use it.
2. Where can I find a maintenance schedule for the mini...? The Manuel is completely useless
3. Does every mini have Brake sensors for when the pads are due ? My BMW estimated the mileage remaining, my mini however has nothing in the on board computer for that

JB4 only for current turd gens with B38/B48.

For the N18 they only offer some older tech :flaccid: plug in deal which would leave a good 20-30hp on the table compared to a tune as I also have a DP.

Speaking of JB4 - I have one left over from my F31 with Max’s name on it. :evilplan:

Basic Engine
Engine oil As specified by CBS
Engine oil filter As specified by CBS
Fuel System
Air filter At every 4th Engine Oil Service
(approximately 40,000 miles)
Ignition System
Spark plugs (all models) At every 6th Engine Oil Service

This is the only thing I could come up with when it comes to Mini Service... :wtf:

I also read something about plugs every 30k, which seems rather excessive.
