Hey, I am pretty new to cars in general, but after ording my mini, I have several ideas for modding it. Im trying to learn as much about cars as can, but im still in highschool so im trying to read magazines and search the internet for my education on cars inbetween classes and school work. My friend though, who is a big gear-head, is helping me and he recomended the first upgrade I do is get a chip or refresh my computer......is this possible yet in the US on the R56? If so, anyone do it yet? How much HP and Torque do you think will be achieved by this?

If you have any other recomendations, im always open to ideas....my mini description is in my sig.

Thanks, Dave

....I pick up my mini on the 10th of March!
