I've been in search for aftermarket parts and have noticed a few key players and wanted to get the advice from some seasoned mini gear heads. I have an R53 complete stock. What does everyone think of "Mini Madness" and "M7". I'm looking for companies that make and tune their own parts. Thanks.

 

I think the reason you are not getting responses is that most threads here degrade into camp a vs camp b BS

IMHO Mini Madness for the most part is over priced

M7 makes some good stuff and some overpriced stuff - just like most.

I think if you read some of the build threads and posts of what folks are running then talk with some of the companies you will get a good idea of who's parts you want on your Mini

 

Did you mean Mini Madness? I find Mini Mania to be well priced with a great variety of stuff.

 

yes - thank you - edited my post to correct

 

This very hard to narrow down to one vendor.

Have you looked at Texas Speed Works?

I can tell you what parts to get in terms of best bang for the buck if you want...being from a country million miles away from the US, I know a thing or 2 about keeping costs down (due to shipping costs/customs tax). But the first question is what do you want outta your car? a full on racer? 0-100mph drag monster? street car? This is quite important so as not to waste ure money on other stuff


just PM me if your interested....
