For some reason I'm just now joining NAM. I've owned Hannibal, my 2011 R56, since 2012 and was originally a member of DC Metro MINIs before I moved to Atlanta a couple years ago.
Still loving my car, despite what the horrific pavement here in Atlanta is doing to it. Minor upgrades thus far: Alta CAI and Enkei wheels. Resonator delete upcoming until I feel like replacing the whole exhaust. New summer rubber coming up first since winter doesn't actually exist here. Then full coilovers once the roads here finally kill the OEM setup.
But for all the pain of an Atlanta manual transmission commute, every minute up in the mountains here makes up for it. Truly God's country for a well handling car.
Welcome to NAM and congrats on Hannibal. You have many years of miles and grins ahead of you. Please ask if you have any questions! We can definitely help out with the exhaust and coilovers. Check out the special R56 section on our website and 10% off sale this month.
I love the name you picked out for your car too
