So I thought I would start a thread were people can post what parts they want to see made for the new R56. Now please dont post the obvious like "I want an air intake" maybe you have a different idea for how an intake could work but please include that. I'm just trying to keep people from complaining to the aftermarket that they arent making what you guys want, so here is a place to say what you want, and hopefully vendors will look.


I'll start it off:

- Tasteful aux gauges
- Hood Scoop intake (who doesnt)
- New version of M7 Ulitmate grills front and rear
- New version of M7 USS
- Full hard piping for the FMIC
- Bring back the burbles, not sure if thats in the ecu or the exhaust
- And a blow off that can be heard down the block

 

A. Airplane Wings
B. Chip for the ECU/refreshing it
C. Making the hood scoop usefull
D. Boost Gauge-think there's already one

 

Gauges - water temp, oil pressure

lowering springs

 

I'd like two aftermarket guages as well: one for the MCS's boost, and a coolant temp guage. I wouldn't mind a K&N replacement air filter for the stock model, I probably wouldn't use a huge open-air element one like the older ones though, but that's just me.

And yea, making the hood scope functional in some way again would be nice.

 

1. The burbles!!!
2. aftermarket tailights
3. lowering springs
4. aftermarket gauges
5. Exhaust
6. ECU remap
7. ignition coils, plugs etc.
8. no hole front license plate holder.

 

It seems that alot of people want a hood scoop intake, so to go along with that I want to see a new version of the M7 ram air scoop, I think the factory one is alittle small so a bigger more aggressive one would be cool

 

I want someone to come up with an electrical component that will allow my sunroof to open and close with one touch of the switch. It has been nicer here over the weekend in Motown, and having to hold the switch is driving me crazy!

 

I would make a call to MINI USA and tell them this. i would bet in the next 6 months to a year it will be back. it should be an easy thing to program in. i also found this very hard on our test car. our in house car will not have a sun roof so it will not matter on that car. just give it some time, but let them know your feelings.
