2nd F56 Mini, first on NAM

Hello fellow Miniacs,

New to the forums, but not to the Mini brand. This is my second Volcanic Orange F56, and there have been others in the family as well. Looking for suggestions on subtle mods that won't void the warranty. Anyways here's Dino!



Thanks,

Piers.

Do you own two or did you have to already replace one? Welcome, fellow Canadian :P

I owned one back in 2014 when they were released, and I was working for the local BMW/Mini dealer at the time.

Thank you though, whereabouts are you situated? I'm a coastal BC guy. Lots of rain, lots of dirty cars.

Welcome to NAM fellow northwesterner. I loved going to the Champcar races in downtown Vancouver.

Gotta love that orange. Please check our site for application guides and tech articles that will walk you through each stage of modification. If you have any questions on keeping your warranty valid just ask, and we can help you out!

Very nice. I have a friend here with an E92 335i that he's trying to set a power record with. The car already has somewhere around 700whp. It's insane.

Thanks, it was a weekend project with my father and I. Took surprisingly longer to line up than it looks.

Pretty sure you could set up a Coleman camping stove on the wood deck and have a bbq.
