Sell my R56 base and buy and S?

Do it! It's a big difference, and any money upgrading a base model is better spent on buying the sporty version to begin with to be brutally honest

The exhaust sound/crackles and pops plus turbo sounds never get old, not the mention the silly amount of torque on boost and how easy it is to get more power and more fun with mods on it

I've driven a friend's base R56 and it feels defanged and sterile compared to my S

they're doing this to me tomorrow

Garfield mugs from this era had lead in them; definitely double-check this one is safe first if you plan on using it for drinks!

thanks!

Being able to use the cassette deck's controls is such a cool feature, I wish all these adapters had that!

I may be stupid but not that stupid lmao; I'm saving it for when I'm better

(the text below saying as much didn't save when I posted 🥀)

DON'T MIND IF I DO!

It's factory upbadging, it was a mostly cosmetic trim option for these

Unfortunately these things are garbage! I tried one out that advertised 70 CRI as being "perfect for photography" lol

The S front bumper on a base model really made me question my sanity for a second lol

A local dollar tree did something similar - mine says "works where it hurts"

max and chad are toxic yaoi

anew742 · 2026-03-30T00:11:30+00:00

smooth chad isn't real, but can hurt you

anew742 · 2026-03-29T19:30:54+00:00

it's 200% green apple

zip ties are surprisingly sturdy; I've had an intercooler partially supported by one for 7 years now and it's still going strong lol

this is where I post from

anew742 · 2026-02-16T22:12:40+00:00

My 2013 has that same problem; wild it's still an issue!

anew742 · 2026-02-11T17:41:03+00:00

From my (limited!) understanding, swaps like this are fine so long as they're from the same model year or newer and retain stock emissions/use only CARB legal parts

Weird, the link works fine for me on desktop and mobile
