2013 All4 65,000 miles on it for my wife. She loves it. I have a r53 but she couldn’t get the stick shift down so we got this, plus have a baby on the way.

Your wife will love it! We bought a 2015 CMS All4 last summer for my wife. I have an F56 JCW....guess who loves driving the Countryman!

Congrats on the baby on the way!

Thanks! Yes she loves it so far. The all4 grips like no other, wish my r53 was all wheel drive. I think she wants to add strips to it and paint wheels black. I’m trying to talk her in to a tune but not sure if she will go for that. Also she wish it popped like the R53 but that’s really her only complaint.

Well, tell her to put it in sport mode and use the paddles.....you will then hear some pops and bangs! I see yours is not an S, but it may still have sport mode...not sure there. Still love it though....really like the look!

welcome to the R60 family and the addition to your family. I have 2 kiddos and the R60 fits 2 car seats comfortably well somewhat! To convince your wife to get a tune buy her a used jb+ for the market here as a gateway mod. Then after 1-2 months she’ll be begging for a tune!!

thanks, we been trying for awhile to have a baby, now dr said all is good.
ill look for the jb+. Before we bought this one she drove a country man jcw and she loved the power, but they wanted too much $$ for the miles. She has the mod bug. But her idea of mods is painting things pink lol. I told her, if we go to sale it who’s gonna buy a pink Countryman 😂 thanks for all the info! You guys are great!
