Hello from Indiana

Not sure what took me so long to make a profile here! I've had my 09 Clubman S for 6 months or so.

No major mods yet, just an AEM CAI and strut brace. I'm looking for an Alta Accesport if anyone knows someone selling one.

Love how this car drives and I'm amazed how well it handles winter. Can't wait for spring so I can take a few more road trips with it! My Astro Black and a friends Silver Clubman

Hello and welcome.

In the winter with snow tires it will handle very well. Most people think they don't who don't own one. Snow tires make a huge difference in winter weather.

I've been pleasantly surprised at how winter worthy my Clubbie is. The Blizzaks I put on it are phenomenal!

Welcome from a fellow Hoosier as I grew up in Indiana.

I would suggest doing more research on ECU tunes for your vehicle as the Accessport no longer has support. So if you buy one and it doesn't have the right files to match your ECU it won't work. I do them all the time and happy to do one to match your needs.
