Welcome
I would suggest driving the R56 first. Some love and Some hate so give it a try to see how you feel before jumping in as we have many customers that refuse to ever get rid of their R53

Thanks for the welcome guys. The thought of getting rid of Gary for an r56 was fleeting. I had just put 1600 buck worth of parts in and realized what I thought was a pulley making noise was actually my supper charger in it pto death throws. I also need to do the cat back so it’s funny to get a welcome from way as I’m about to buy some stuff from him.
Thanks agine folks

You can find a used supercharger or put a sprintex on it. Or turbo swap it.

R53 models tend to have lower repair costs in general as they don't suffer from the same common issues such as the thermostat, turbo oil line failure, crud build up on the valves and a few other issues that are common with the R56 models. I don't hear about as many SUPER common issues with the R53 models as aside from the Control Arm bushings (which affects all MINI gen1 + gen2 models).
But, you may find owning a newer car with different features, newer design and other updates may be a good match for you.
