I'm pretty stoked

Had one post here when I owned the Countryman, I just traded it.

For a new 2015 Cooper S! This thing is night and day difference; I did have a base Cooper Countryman and it was very sluggish.

I'll post pictures once it gets out of the wash and make ready!


Super stoked and can't wait to drive the back roads going home

Congratulations! Loving the black on white. Almost reminds me of a storm trooper! Must be because of the new movie coming out soon.

Oh yeah! I'm looking at some air intakes, exhaust, new wheels and some Youification items!

First real mod will probably be air intake or exhaust. I'm looking at Remus potentially.

Going with a REMUS exhaust system is a very good choice. Very high quality and comes with a great manufacturing warranty. A few members have some review threads on here that you can check out. Personally, I am a big fan of their quality and sound. If you have any questions about the product let me know.

I'm definitely going to break this car in for a little while before settling on new wheels, exhaust and intake.

I will be doing some Youification very soon! I just got two GoBadges, the Texas Flag and the Miniac w/Union Jack. Planning on getting the Black Jack badge to go on the front opposite the 'S'. I hope one of the two dealers around me will have the mirror caps in or the side scuttles.

Does anyone know if the black bumper piece below the grill can be replaced? Mine has tqo large holes from the front plates and I really wanted to use the tow bar plate holder on this car. Not a huge deal but it sure is ugly.

Thanks! Looks like MM had them online, so I placed an order for it. Hopefully I can install myself, if not, I will just have the service department install.

Congrats!! You and I are alike. My first Mini was also a R60 S. My wife got a F55. After driving hers with all the updated BMW technology I couldn't stand the R60. I got a F55 also. We are yin & yang (Hers is all white and mine is all black). My insurance went down for not having a S and my fuel economy went up!

Congrats! I owned a Countryman S model for a very short time and to be honest it was boring compared to my 2010 R56 and my 2015 Cooper Hardtop. I don't think you'll be disappointed with your new MINI, I know I'm not.
 


Quick Reply: F55/F56 I'm pretty stoked
