Newbie from Austin

Hello friends,
Bought a nicely used R56 recently and getting excited to start learning more about it from you guys. It has over 100k so I've already installed a timing chain kit and plugs. Love the way this thing handles and nice to be rowing my own gears again😊

Welcome to NAM.

Bigger pictures are always good.

Yes, you are now one of those people that most likely cringe when you hear "oh that is such a cute car."

It's a great car. I really didn't take interest until my co-worker let me drive his.

That comment usually comes after “You can actually fit inside that tiny car”, (6’2” @ 250). Then I get the gapped open mouth when they sit inside it. This Mini put fun back into the daily commute. 2016 Tucson is collecting dust in the driveway��
