Greetings from the frozen north!

Hi all,

I've been lurking around the forum for a while now and figured since its -31 C outside this morning I would rather spend some time on the forum and introduce myself.

We purchased a new 2016 3 door Cooper S earlier in 2017 as our summer home car. We enjoyed it so much that this month we decided to trade off my wife's MB GLC for a 2018 Countryman S. Thanks to all of the info on the forum I have done some coding using Bimmercode and yesterday installed a Dinan Elite tuner in the car. Looking forward to warmer weather and dry pavement.

Hopefully I can provide some useful input down the road.

Cheers
Mark

Welcome to NAM.

One of my bucket list items is to take the train through the Canadian Rockies.

On my bucket list too. Done the drive many times over a number of routes and it never gets old.

Hi and welcome to the NAM family!
It is not unusual for a family to get one Mini and then get another!

NICE!
So jealous. We just got a 2017 Coutryman S. Would love to have a Cooper S as well. As much fun as the Countryman is I'm betting the Cooper is more so. I might pick your brain on what you are doing with the Countryman. I'm not a big car tuner so I need all the help I can get.

Both cars are a lot of fun and there is tons of info and people willing to help on the forum. I installed the Dinan Elite tuner myself in about an hour...plug and play and the instructions are on Dinan's website. I posted a pic and more info on another thread.
