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.

Oh do you have more info on this ? Curious to read about it[user not found] wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2019 1:09 pm
Also pretty simple, bulletproof, and light.
I'd avoid the new 1.5T Honduhs - lots of issues with fuel diluting the oil.

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.Swedish Chef wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 10:49 am2013 Pooper S con manuel.

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!

Thanks all!
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.
DP with cat should make the pops occur more often too.
I’d like to lower it slightly but not sure if I wanna run springs on stock shocks.

Ive thought about the JB+ but perhaps a Stage 1 tune makes more sense if I ever wanna go Stage 2 in the future.Clownshoobie wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 9:04 am 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.

Zero the toe and add whatever front camber you can.

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.

I saw the sales ad for your JCW.
Super
Congrats and hurry up and whore it in here!
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
for a $800 tune..Talk British to me: All things MINI

it looks like I need to start posting in here.1. Does anyone know how to get my Iphone into the center console phone holder? and
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
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.

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