I got my 08 MCS in June. I love the car. I have always driven Mercedes before this, but this is great. I am thinking about doing some mode (see below), but am hesitant to spend the money. Any thoughts if it is worth it.

I got a Silver/Black/Black MCS pretty loaded.

I want to do:
Black Wheels (OZ racing Ultraleggera or Team Dynamics)
ECU (or performance pack from madness)

Nice looking Mini you got there buddy!

I'd say with your colors, black wheels would look very good. Not sure about about the ECU though.

 

Nice MCS. Wheels in black would add to it. OZ or TD would give it a great look.

As for the ECU, I would love to hear what you had to say about the MadnessEVO R56 package.

Have you considered the JCW Stage 1 or the GIAC?

Read up on the piggy-back systems and form your own opinions, so love it and others are not so lucky.

 

Wheels = yes, absolutely
ECU = from what I've read, maybe. However before ECU+tuning I would personally go for springs, intake and exhaust first. Ah, distant dreams....

 

I would definetely do the wheels. I just did my rims on my Coop and am ffin love with the look!! For the ECU, i would maybe look at other alternatives.
Alta and M7 are just SOME of the places that offer cooler performance pieces for the same or less money!! Check them out...
