Forgive my noobie newbiness but I have a few questions ...

I have already been on this forum and over at mini2.com for a month or so and have figured out the main R56 problems (melting hood scoop, cold start chatter, cosmoline dripping, seatbelt issues, etc.)

I've looked into the performance mods some and it seems the R53 guys have the formula down for getting more power. Is there an established path to get more power for the R56s? Seems like there isn't a handheld tuner (big minus), there isn't a widely accepted/tested larger turbo and catbacks and CAI seem to be user preference.

Can somebody who has been here for a while tell me what is the best/proven route for horsepower increase in the R56? I'll have a Clubman S but figure the motor will be the same (just different exhaust piping).

Also are there any must haves that people buy/take care of after buying the car? I already bought some non-runflats.

Thanks and sorry again for asking such noob questions.
