Some MINI owners in the SF Bay Area may recognize Jacques Andres as the owner of Bay Bridge Motors in Oakland, a popular and respected independent shop that specializes in BMW and MINI. It's where I have my MINI serviced.
He achieves 500HP 4WD in a surprising way -- the car is twin engine. You heard that right, an R53 with two engines! Jacques discussed it during a podcast interview: http://miniology.com/2012/12/miniolo...hristmas-2012/
