I added a VIP Strut Tower Brace that I bought off a fellow nyMINIon, who's Countryman was t-boned (he's fine, these little cars are built like tanks and weigh as much) and bought a F56 with the JCW tune in my favorite NY Taxi Cab Yellow

I'll add pics later

@808Keith-- not bad/not good. i'd never had coilovers before so i didnt know what to expect. i have bad roads around here, got frustrated with my understanding of suspension and the ride, and took them off. i loved how it looked, never bottomed out even at that height. cornered flat, and no rear squat under exceleration, or nose dive under hard braking. the last straw for me was not the coilovers fault even, after i let it settle for a week, i got the alignment, and that same day the inside of both tires got peeled off and i had to replace all 4 tires. but i think i needed adjustable end links for the rear, it came with the fronts.

Today, I replaced my HU with a newer unit with DAB. VIN not corresponding, and i lost voice, navi and speech. Waiting for the retrofit cable and crossing my fingers.
Does anybody know if there is DAB band 3 outlet on the antenna converter located in the roof below the antenna?

I've been tuned for a while, just recently made a new video after putting on a 3" downpipe late last year.

Manic Stage 3, custom intake, 3" DP/exhaust, 47mm turbo. Manic Stage 3, 23psi.

Tuned by Mariokart.
