Welcome to NAM, minihooligan773. I'm sure that some of our expects will be along shortly with some pros and cons, and probably some personal opinion.

I just picked up a 2012 MINI S with the N18 engine. I steered clear of the 2007 to 2010 N14s due to concerns over timing chains and carbon buildups.
