Hey all, I just picked up a 2004 mini, non sport edition, and I love it. I'm looking for a cold air intake mod and am wondering what the best choice would be, any suggestions? Also, I'm wondering what type of tires would help out the most when I nail a pot hole by accident. I've got run flats on there now but was wondering if any of you have had made adjustments to get a smoother ride. Feels like my front end is going to rip off when i hit an unexpected pot hole. Like I said, I'm new and I'm in need of some help.
Thanks.

 

Get rid of the run flats and get some different tires. We have the Alta CAI on our R53 and we love it.

It is one of the cheaper ones also. Good luck!

 

I was pretty wet behind the ears not so long ago myself.
Here is my CAI.. .

Alta Cold air is nice... a lot of people have the Typhoon K&N but its pretty loud

 

 

Since you said non Sport model I'm guessing you have a standard Cooper, NOT an S that would be supercharged. If you have just a standard Cooper then our intake would be perfect
