Get a tune for sure. Accessport is the only way to go. The older Dimsport tune seems to have been cut off update wise...

Nah just agreeing that it doesn't get any easier than buying a new car. Tune is still the best way to upgrade the MINI S though. Beyond that I'd say it isn't really worth it, but that's just me.

Yes an ECU tune is the best bang for the buck power gain on an R56.

Dimsport hasn't been cut off at all, actually just did a few updates this past week.

Sound a little butthurt there. An exhaust, intake, intercooler, and piping are ok ways but, are not going to net you any major power gains. You might make somewhere in the neighborhood of 175ish but, with a tune the sky is the limit. That is where the power starts coming. But there is only so high the R56 is good for right now and that is just shy of 300hp.
