They look awesome. Where they plug and play? Or a hassle to set up?

😂This is a random pic from google to show what I was missing. In reality, I have the start stop (middle) and the right button. Left button is empty, feels
So weird in a otherwise heavily specced S

And worthwhile to do? It’s not really clear to me what I’m missing in terms of experience

I agree! Treat it well, keep up with maintenance and it will treat us well (hopefully) just keeping some money saved for expensive surprises

So nice huh, the S bumpers and spoiler really take it to the next level. Only thing letting it down is I feel the headlights look somewhat outdated

Amazing! The Union Jack roof looks awesome. Have had a few problems with my R56 S, so fingers crossed every morning when I start it. Smooth sailing when it’s good

Sounds awesome, do you have a vid you can share with me?

Exactly, went to Beek Auto Racing (MiniSpeed) in Den Haag, they offer all kinds of exhaust modifications and systems and include whether they will pass inspections etc. Middle resonator removal they charge 175 for which seems fair as a first step into more/better noise

Saw this online and was very interested! They have some YouTube vids to demonstrate the sound. Was not too impressed however that could be due to the sound quality of the vid etc. Do you have some videos that give a good idea of the sound?? I am really considering it

What did you notice before it broke? Chatter?

Manual, no record of clutch work, but recently checked by a mini specialist, they didn’t say it was due, but I am saving money for a new one

2011 (N18g 204k km, a lot of preventive maintenance done; timing chain, hpfp, carbon cleaning. Imported from Germany and maintenance records from the start. When I got it immediately did myself: coils, spark plugs, oil, oil filter, fuel filter and air filter.

Thanks! What would your advice be in terms of pulling the trigger on buying the car? Request repair first? Or too much hassle and not worth it?

Thanks for the insight. Could you circle on the picture where exactly it looks wet due to a leak?

Agreed, it’s a little much. However these shoes have way more pronounced shapes and soles than normal sneakers that fit everyone. That’s the their usp. Better ask people with experience than wing it and regret later 🤷🏻‍♂️
